Head R&R

Why did you think the valve seat had dropped? What were the symptoms? I am just curious, I was told that valve seats drop when you get your truck too hot.

I see, well I have a sound in my exhaust that sounds like the cylinder is being flooded with fuel, it only happens when it's warm, and only when the AC is off, my mileage has gone down quite a bit. I ordered injectors and hope this takes away the sound. My motor doesn't sound any different really. I will have my mechanic slap on the injectors and see what it does. He believes it's an injector that is sticking. My throttle at the track has stayed at 1100RPM after a run down the track several times so I am sure it's an injector.

I see. Yeah if mine where a valve seat I don't imagine it would go away at idle when I turn on the AC right? Like I said, I hear what sounds like a cylinder flooding with fuel, and a little rough idle. Once I turn on the AC it goes away, as soon as I turn it off, it comes back a couple of seconds later.
