Cylinder 4 valves not seated

Post by S60UT »

01 S60 T5. Im in the middle of a PCV refresh. I looked into the intake and all the valves are in the closed position except cylinder #4. They are about 1/4" from being fully seated. Is this normal in the 2.3l engine ?
Thanks

Can you take a pic? You may remove the plugs (makes it easier to turn) then turn the engine by hand at the crank with an adjustable key, see how the valves move.
