Thanks Allen. I'd done that and its not the Valves. I have a set of dashlight bulbs on thin wires that I made up for fault finding looms on mine equipment.... So I hooked one up to a battery and poked the globe in thru the plug holes for a look-see and What I saw
well its a troublesome picture! But Jeffs junk mans gift idea is THE IDEA..of IDEAS..
For an engine with 1 1\4 cylinders of compression missing it went ok!

VX 3800 series II I think? Engine Number VA377113 It has EGR stainless pipe and latest PCV inlet manifold system....
The Trade Me add had it wrong.... Its a Series II Ecotech....
But....
Here's the funny part... I usually "always" never use seat belts to lift out engines. Always a chain.... So yesterday it was just a "lift it off" the trailer onto the ground...
And....ummm.. the seat belt webbing, slipped on the tractor bail forks and as the slack belt went tight it SNAPPED!!! and the engine n Gearbox did a graceful end for end flip in what seamed like slow motion landing on its top. Smashing the inlet hat, Throttle body mount, top runners, bent the fuel rail and one rocker cover..
So today I'm off to Pick a part $29 for a new Inlet manifold....+ other bits mentioned.....And So the moral of the story! Is that Seat belts don't safe life's.... Cheers all And at Pick a part was the cleanest looking VX with a low Km engine. But @ $530 for all the bits I'll stick with my bent one lol

Tones "SILLY" is a bit of an understatement wouldn't ewe
say?
Ross.... Ya Always, should never say. Never always should..... Maybe
Geeze that was Silly! I would'a used the engine lifting chain and bolt on lifting Hooks, that are in the Left hand top draw of my tool box... I've had and used them for the last 20 years....... Yeah yeah it's easy ta bee smart n wise after the act-see-dent happened... Well at least no one lost an eye fingers or teeth....
On the bright side I've removed the lower inlet manifold to replace the Valley Gasket that's renowned for leaking coolant into the oil and I'll check the PCV valve whilst I'm in there. Shall i match the ports???
Thanks

Well 7months later after lots of farm stuff Deer hunting and other life events I'm nearly ready to get OOH AH back on the water. I've been gathering bits n bobs for the job and done some engine tweaks...
