Asked by jbs3232 Feb 08, 2016 at 08:56 PM about the Dodge RAM 1500

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

1 Answer

Pouring oil into a cylinder won't help a intake or exhaust valve. If the valve is stuck you may have a broken valve spring or other serious damage which could mean pulling the head to fix it. Another possibility is a broken rocker arm.
