Subject: Re: 2 litre cylinder compression question
Hi Peter
2 litre Lagondas are delightful cars and I would echo everything that Mike has said. I think you must assume that something is wrong with one of the valves or seats. I had this problem last year and my engine also ran rough. I had hardened exhaust seats fitted when I fixed it. I was also surprised how rough some of my valve guides were.
Therefore you should reckon on taking off the head and checking or possibly replacing valves and/or springs. I have had springs break and so that is the thing to check first. All the parts are available from the club and in the event of a cracked head, we might be able to find you a replacement one.
