Changing a valve,
Mate's rs was running a bit rough so had it compession tested and there was none on cylinder4, so had it leak tested and the bloke said its a exhaust valve in cylinder 4 leaking, cracked or bent etc!
So my question, how easy are these to change, done one on a zetec not long ago and it was a case of just taking old one out, sticking new 1 in? I can see it not being as easy tho, heads still on car at mo, being taken off next sat?
Cheers

I hope you lapped the new one in when you did the zetec.
But anyway assuming its definitly a valve, then yer, remove old, fit and lap in new valve. Put back together, job done

What does lapping mean, is it where you get it to sit flush?
