Anyone clean there valves yet? Just wandering if there was any tricks to getting them out. I'm down on rpm so hoping this helps.
Cleaning Exhaust Valves

Miles? Hours? How many rpm you down? What track? Looking for lost rpm myself. Thinking about the valves as well.
I have 900 miles on my sled and it's a 155 with the 2.6 track. I'm down 300-400 rpm. I have cleaned my clutches, new belt, new weights, new primary spring, new plugs, tracked tightened to spec and overall taken care of very well. At about 700 miles I noticed a drop in rpm.
Need to take the steering post out in front of the valves to pull the exhaust valves out. The springs around the valves will pop out pretty easy so pay attention so they don't pop out somewhere if they fly. Mine were very dirty and gummed up at only 200+ miles. Also need to clean the tiny area where the actuator goes in. This area gummed up was making it harder for the actuator to move with ease. Might be the reason mine was bogging randomly sometimes. Wasn't the throttle cable length, exhaust/intake bog, clutches, or track tension.
I posted up some pics in this thread on it.
