    Typically people forget about keeping the valves adjusted. If it’s too tight the valve won’t close and that’s what will burn the valve

    Yeah they should be checked every 50k or so. As @Running Board Man said, you may have a burnt exhaust valve.

    This is a thing I went through 2 months ago.

    I didn't advise him to do anything, simply stated the fact you CAN get 4 injectors for less than 40 dollars

    Whole engine swap unneeded if it’s due to valves. A leak down test will tell you where the compression leak is. If it’s a burnt valve pulling the head and having a valve job done will work

    I guess if your burning through cars like a whore does men then it doesn't matter how janky you fix your cars.

    Special tool makes adjusting them easy. All you need is a feeler gauge set, the valve shim tool and some shims
