Exhaust Valve...

Paul,
My mechanic thinks it's the exhaust valve also. It runs fine and doesn't backfire. This is why I'm just going to live with it. I'll try some 10w and marvel mystery but my friend in Mo (Macgyver) says the oil does have the chemical needed to affecturate the disolve of the substance that makes the valve stick. I'll keep trying.... it starts up right away but runs hot at 165 then drops to 150 at idle...
Thanks again,
John E.
