I broke the intake valve tappet when removing the flywheel. The intake valve is seized shut, so the tappet took the force off-center from the camshaft and broke. I knew better, but as usual I got in a hurry to pull the engine apart. I find diagnoaing engine problems a bit like solving a puzzle or a mystery. What caused this engine to fail? Usually it is something small, perhaps one minor part, like an intake manifold gasket!
