Hi All,

I may have bodged a power valve shaft by attempting to remove it from the cylinder. I used a pair a of needle nosed pliers and leveraged the shaft out by the nut (I know, I know...). I'm not sure, but I may have slightly bent the shaft. Is it advisable to try and heat the part and bend it back?

Also, What's normal for the manual rotation of the power valve shaft i.e. can they be easily turned by hand? The rear cylinder power valve shaft turns easily but the front does not (the slightly bent one) but will turn with a little resistance with a wrench. I certainly don't want to put everything back together and fry the PGM.
