Chalky exhaust valves (Read 97 times)

Posts: 179 Bergen County, New jersey Gender:	Chalky exhaust valves 07/14/16 at 17:18:35 So I had to remove my exhaust the other day and I figured I take a look inside the exhaust port and noticed the valves were a tiny bit chalky, but not white. My plug looks good, and I'm at sea level with a Mac performance upswept pipe, original idle jet(47.5 I think), 152.5 main, and the white spacer mod. What could be causing this?

You are okay, snormal,, black is less common, seriously white has been seen. I'd be happy with what you are seeing. How's your header looking? What exhaust is on it? Any mods? Miles? Year model? Hat size? Do you have small hands?

Bike is a 2006 s40, only mods I've done are the raptor petcock, white spacer, 152.5 jet, air fuel screw plug removed, stock intake, and a mac performance pipe, not open, but close to it. I cleaned the pipe with blue job and that was about 1000 miles ago, and the blueing hasn't come back. Also what does my hat have to do with it? And my hands? Huh

I shouldn't have gotten so upset.. Sorry, Ray, I hope you will unnertand and forgive me.

Valves used to be a nice golden brown color in the days of leaded fuel....but not anymore!

Lean=hot. It's not dangerous and won't hurt anything. It could also be deposits from the fuel but this isn't common on the exhaust valve. You usually find fuel deposits on the intake valve because it runs cooler.
