would burnt valves show under a compression test or is there a chance on still getting 140 across 4 pistons with burnt valves

I would say valves are ok if no pressure loss.

burnt valves will cause a loss in compretion psi . easy way to see if its the valves is do two compretion tests

1-dry compertion test take note of your readings

2- wet comp test . just add a few squirsts of oil down through the spark plug hole - if your readings go up its the rings . if the reading stay the same as the dry test its your valves

the above test is just a guide to find wots wrong the test dont always work :coffee::smokin:

if you have 140 across all 4 then you it should run fine. your problem lies elsewear.
