Thanks for checking Eric! Spend the weekend watching YouTube videos, and reading. I'm hopeful that I can get to taking temp readings this week, and running some diagnostics to determine if it is a stuck valve before taking it out on the road. Question to the list, if I have a suck valve, what are your thoughts on: 1. Driving the vehicle short distances, less than 20 miles 2. Adding SeaFoam or other additive to the oil to help release the valve 3. Degree of difficulty to do a mechanical repair I hesitate to through parts at problems.
