I'd wait and see the damage first, to burn out an exhaust valve is prety good going. It depends on whether it's taken out the valve seat too.

Get some pics up

gonna strip it down this weekend and see the damage. ill get some pics up this weekend if i can

[DrivingSpanner]

new valves, recut/ possably fit inserts and then its just like a head gasket job really, might be cheaper to get a replacement head tho. I'd be more worried about why its burn the valve seat tho.....

[hendrix]

what could have caused it?? any ideas anyone
cheers

engine running lean, or the timing is too far advanced

[hendrix]

i thought the timing may have been out, due to sometimes when you turn the key it doesnt turn over straight away. also its been cutting out loads when the auto choke goes off :?

[Nick]

yer a common sign of ill-timing

mine used to do it sometimes, when you turn the ignition off, the engine sounds like it tried to run on it's own.

one of my mates car did it for about 10 mins in a pub carpark. it was halarious.

hopefully you will get away with just replacing the valve and oil valve stem seal :? 8)

i remember one of my mates mum had a metro an she took the key out an it carried on running then started revving itself, went on for quite a while and then it caught fire an blew up

i think if my car started doing that i'd be shoving it into gear with the foot brake on hard and lifting the clutch to stall it :roll:

my car is always fooked.seems like one thing after another with the fooking thing.getting well fed up with it to be honest-i prefer driving my company cars now-they are a piece of piss.i cud drive them with my eyes shut.
my car currently has half an engine :x :(
