Symptoms:

  • Burnt clutches
  • Lost or damaged component

Cause:

The spring stem of the valve and the exhaust gap in the retaining clip are close enough in size that the valve pushes through the gap, damaging itself. This can also lead to spring entanglement and damage.

Correction:

Modifying the spring stem and installing Sonnax latch valve stem repair kit relieves the interference issue and prevents future stem and spring damage.
