I have a 84 chevy pickup.  I put a crate 350 gm motor with 330 horsepower. Its been at a shop getting the interior done and i got it back and the motor is running bad. The dealership that put it in said it was a blown valve.  I don't have but maybe 200 miles on the motor.  What could cause this?

A burnt valve can be caused by a exhuast leak.

if you only have 200 miles on it should still be under war at any rate i would run a compression check on my own to verify a comp gauge is preety cheep to by and just goes in the spark plug hole
