so would the first thing to do is check compression?

[ruffrida2005]

Yeah I would do that and see if it's a broke rod. then if you think it's a lifter pull the valve covers.

[jgh64pkup]

there are no lifters its SOHC

[joe231]

And if you had a "broke" rod it wouldn't be ticking, it would be knocking (if it would even run)

if it is a wrist pin, it will be annoying, but should run fine for many miles.

Drive her until she breaks, and swap in another engine

I'm not familar with the ford crap...er, I mean engines....is there anything that is adjustable in the valvetrain?

Something else you can do is pick up an automotive stethoscope and you can narrow down where the noise is coming from. Most tool places have them for under $20

[jgh64pkup]

thank joe no i dont think there is any adjustment in the valvetrain
what would a bent valve do

[jgh64pkup]

Sounds like a good deal!

[jgh64pkup]

i have to talk to him today about it
thanks john for the title change
oh and back to the yenko
when i get the engine turning above 4 grand it strats blowing oil out of the dipstick and the harmonic balancer seal
i just changed the balacer seal and put a sleeve on it
im thinking its too much crank pressure the only vent i have is the pcv
should i replace the oil cap with a breather?

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....

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

[Captainfab]

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


Sorry couldn't resist

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).

[dammitmitchell]

[ruffrida2005]

I'm having a like problem. My motor is blowing a lot of oil out the breathers. I went with some taller valve covers do yall think that might help, or should I get the covers that mount over the rockers to stop the oil from blowing out.

[dammitmitchell]

[jgh64pkup]
