update on stuck valve

Thanks all for the advice. I took the side plate off to check the valve and the #3 exhaust was not stuck but adjusted too tight. I set the clearance but still no compression. I think it is burned and will need replaced.

The engine has 5500 miles on it and I now realize that I should have checked the valve clearance after it broke in.

This is good news though. In July we took a 1300 mile trip from Illinois to Vicksburg Ms. We had no mechanical problems the whole trip.My Tudor deserves a little TLC,after such a fun trip.
 
Boy, thats a shame.. Sorry to hear that.. It doesn't seem like it should have lost all that clearance in 5500 miles.. I'd be interested to hear what you find..
