Subject:I think my engine is dead!
From:Chris Winesette

After work all afternoon to bleed my system.  I took it out for a spin and after cruising @ 55 for awhile I began to loss power.  After lossing a ton of power smole began pouring out the back.  And it made a loud taping sound.  I pulled over and it died.  Once I got back to look at the engine the smoke seamed to be coming out the right (pass)side.  Eairler on when I was starting it it turned over real slow and hard.  What are the signs of a burnt valve? Any other suggestions?
