If you have a bent valve will your oil pressure drop also is it drivable for about ten miles it's a VG30E V6?

I'm not sure the oil pressure would drop with a bent valve. I wouldn't drive it at all but if your driving to shop or home and don't want to pay to have it towed, drive real slow.


How do you know if a have a bent mechanism on my trumpet?

If you have a bent valve slide, or valve, or valve casing, they usually wont move. Valve's and valve casings would prevent the valves from moving, while bent valve slides wont easily pull out. If you suspect a bent valve, valve casing, or slide, try cleaning and oiling it first, valves and slides can become stuck with the lack of valve oil or slide grease.

What causes backfires and low compression in an engine?

Sounds like the valves are not closing properly. Something in the valve train is damaged. Could be a bent or broken valve, broken valve spring, broken or bent rocker arm, bent push rod, etc. Low compression combined with back firing thru intake would indicate a damaged intake valve component and back firing thru the exhaust would indicate a damaged exhaust valve.


How do you know you have a bent valve in a big block Chevy?

Well, it will pop out the carb, or exhaust, witchever valve is bent. Pull the valve covers off, and turn the motor over slowly, by hand. Make sure all of the valves are closing, or, the stem height is all the same at one point, on every valve. And remember, a burned valve, will act the same as a bent, or stuck valve. A cylinder leakdown test is the proper way to diagnose this, however, that requires a few specialized tools, which most people do not have in their garage.
