I just bought a beautiful mess... care to express an opinion?

Right, that makes sense, but I already knew the exhaust valve wasn't closing because I saw it with the bore scope. I totally get the fact that the leak down lets you know if you don't already know. Once I saw the valve not seating as flush as the other exhaust valve I decided to take the cover off and see what I can see. It just seems like the leak down test confirmed what I already knew. Not sure what else it is telling me? Thanks again for everyone's input.

Now ask yourself this question. If air from the leak down test will not hold the valve closed. it tells you something...

The valve is bent.

If the valve was not bent the valves would seal and not leak when the cam has released the pressure off of the valves.
