burnt valve

For anyone like myself who is relatively new to this hobby, this is what a burnt valve looks like.  When we discovered compression was low in one cylinder, my friend Bill spritzed the headers and found the water didn't evaporate nearly as fast on one header pipe.  Sure enough, it was exactly as he predicted, a burnt valve (in the upper right of the photo).

Good job.
That part is fairly easy to fix.
Keep us informed.

Thank you Jarvis1. I will. Diving deep into an engine is fun but scary the first time. I was fortunate to have Bill so eager to get at it. It must have been like this for kids who had a father to show them. I wonder what my next engine adventure will be?
