Joe a stick will work just as well and it won't cost you anything. a cut down broom handle works quite well

I hear ya there, but have you used a stethoscope?
You can hear a so clear with one. Well worth the $20 and it is flexable to get into tight spots....

Re: ''Project '64 SYT Super Yenko Truck"
 

hey gage.. i was talkign to you
if you take off those M/T valve covers i want them..

Re: my 64
 

yes, i have when I worked in the industry. If you don't have one and don't have much need for one. It is called improvision as you more than likely have an old broom handle or whatever around. One doesn't have to get out and run down to the nearest tool sales place to buy one that you may never use again .that old piece of broom handle will transmit quite well.
now you can take that 20.00 and go and buy a box of beer that you'll only use once except to pee it out.
cheers

Re: my 64
 

Yeah, that is until the wife goes to use the broom you just cut the handle off of :haha:


Sorry couldn't resist :)

Re: my 64
 

hey, you can't bugger around with their broom handles. How are they going to be able to fly if you shorten up their handle. your supposed to have your own handle (left over from all those stripped out shop brooms).

Re: ''Project '64 SYT Super Yenko Truck"
 

man i hate this stupid time change

Re: ''Project '64 SYT Super Yenko Truck"
 

can someone help me identify what is wrong with this stupid ferd
heres a video it sounds like a diesel
not sure what it is
it is coming from the passenger side

Re: ''Project '64 SYT Super Yenko Truck"
 

I'm no Ford man but it sounds like a broke valve spring or maybe a bent valve

Re: ''Project '64 SYT Super Yenko Truck"
 

thats what my dad said its not a broke spring because i took the VC off and looked it over keep the answers coming please

Re: ''Project '64 SYT Super Yenko Truck"
 

what about rocker adjustment?
is that adjustable on that motor?

Re: ''Project '64 SYT Super Yenko Truck"
 

it sounds like the noise is at valve train speed, have you checked the compression ?? is the engine high mile ? I would assume that it has a bad hydraulic tappet or a broken part in the valve train

Re: ''Project '64 SYT Super Yenko Truck"
 

nope no adjustment or lifters its SOHC so maybe a bent valve

Re: ''Project '64 SYT Super Yenko Truck"
 

If it wasnt a broke spring, then its a bent valve.

Re: ''Project '64 SYT Super Yenko Truck"
 

if you cant figure it out, get really good at welding and cut 2 motors in half and weld it up. Use some 4043 and tig it.

Re: ''Project '64 SYT Super Yenko Truck"
 

i hope so
so your sure its not a rod or wrist pin
i really hope its a bent valve that would be so much cheaper to fix

Re: ''Project '64 SYT Super Yenko Truck"
 

:haha: i dont think that will work

Re: ''Project '64 SYT Super Yenko Truck"
 

the 5.4 engine still has hydraulic lifters, http://shop.oreillyauto.com/productd...pe=169&PTSet=A
