please answer this by tonite if you can, theres a long story behind this but basically the coating for one of my valves is worn away and so the valve has worn. the mechanic says i cant drive it hard anymore, like take it really easy on it, and if i do just once itll blow the motor. is there anything i can do about the valve, like replace it or something and if so how much? i need to do somethin about this i cant drive it slow forever!

What valve, what coating?
As far as I know... the valves in the cylinder head have no "coating" and .. I don't get that..
I can't think of any valve that has a coating that would make the motor blow if ya drove the car hard...

need more info!
later

word. no coating but if the valve isn't seating right and is not making a good seal during the compression stroke then you'll have to fix it and yes you can do a valve job to all the valves but it'll cost you from 600- 1200 bucks to rebuild the heads.pretty hard to fix just one valve and be in sync.

but yo could run it .the only thing that would happen is you'll leave a tril of smoke behind .if your car is smoking bad then get a j-spec motor for about 600 bucks.
