Mitsubishi Repair: diagnostic cylinder Valve Failure v6, valve failure, leak down test
QuestionHow do you do diagnostic for cylinder Valve Failure 3.0l Sohc v6, Had a belt Failure and can't seem to get it to run well.
Don't know if I have a bent Valve?
AnswerChris,
Bent valves can be indicated by a compression test. Along with a compression test, you can have a leak-down test performed as well. Usually, if a fan belt breaks, that won't cause bent valves. But if your timing belt failed, that can cause your timing to get thrown off and for your valves to get bent. I would recommend having a mechanic inspect the timing.
Good luck!
