Hey Guys,

I just bought an extremely clean, low mile, 1984 mustang 4cly. The car has 45K miles on it, needs brakes and has a sticky valve. Do any of you guys have experience with these fox bodies or know the 2.3 motor at all.

I am just wondering what it will encompass to remove the head and examine the stuck valve.

I am driving the car home tomorrow from Newburyport - Belmont MA and I am a bit worried about it making the drive. I am planning to take it slow.

IS there any immediate concern I should have in driving a car with a sticky valve?

Thanks,

Dan

I worked with a 87 T Bird w/ a 2.3 Turbo.

Not a complex motor IMO.

I think, taking your time and removing the manifold bolts for the header and intake, harness and vacumme lines you will be at the head and get it right out.

As for why it is sticky, god knows. Could be just age of seals.
