An engine valve normally needs to be removed from the head for a valve job, or to replace other parts related to its operation like the spring or valve guide. This is normally done when the engine has a poor seal from the valve/valve seat or oil consumption caused by the vavle guide.

How do you fix a thrown rod on a ford probe Se?
replace the engine ================== The engine would at least have to be removed, cylinder head removed, oil pan removed, and new bearings installed with rods. If you get that far, you may as well overhaul the engine with new rings, seals, bearings, valve job, resurface cylinder head etc.. Either that or yes, get another engine. Either way its a lot of work or even more money to have a shop do it. -Shaun
