hi guys please help!

After removing the engine head,i realised one of the valve is shaky.Meaning even after tightening it,it has a little freeplay...and this can cause lost of compression and kncking...my mechanic told me that the head needs to be changed...Is there any other way?

I hav a whataspp video in my handphone but dunno how to upload liao..

thx guys:adore:

Yup, if loose will make louder noise (tappets) but valve springs should hold them in place for compression......

I guess it sorta depends on what sort of head this is. If it's super stock then changing a newer one (halfcut) would cost the same as sending to a machine shop to fix the seat. But if it's already ported and polished, it's probably more worthwhile machining it.
