A valve lash should be done hot also and maybe if you want change injectors from one cylinder like take the #1 injector and put it in the bad hole .

Hi Mike, thanks for your advice. Are you saying that I might my vavles might be to tight? And what is "lash"? Im having a leak down test done this week to narrow it down. If I find out my vavles are to tight, then Im going to be pissed. I just had the adjustement done not to long ago and ever since then my head seem MUCH hotter to the touch than normal. I know it gets hot, but were talking heat differences simular to fire and moultan lava. Anyways, Ive been back and forth to the small dealership whom did my vavle job saying it would fix this issue and I cornered the mechanic one day asking if he could of done them to tight and he said that wouldnt of made a difference. Wondering if that was a lie and Im wondering if I need to have them look at my vavles again....
