It'd be running on one cylinder, I'd think.

All the above, why do you think it is bent?

I'm trying to clear up suspected SVS. Looking into the rear exhaust port, the valve shaft appears to be at an odd angle where it exits the valve guide.

I'd also like to know what is the list of symptoms of SVS. But I'll start another thread for that.

I almost called you Curt. Thought I'd start this thread instead, so the discussion could benefit others.

No need for another thread it will be belching and farting and generally running really bad even dying sometime.

Hold a piece of paper in front of the exhaust. If it tries to suck it in then you have svs

Here is a video of what it will look like

Doesn't do That. You heard it run. I shoulda had you to Ride it.
It Does sometimes suck the paper into the pipe. Maybe every few exhaust cycles.
