Okay, a while back I had the #2 exhaust rocker back off while breaking in the engine.
I fixed that, and rebuilt the carbs. Tonight I reset the valve gap and, ran it for the first time. It runs, but I heard a noise I did not like. There is a leak somewhere on the 1/2 head bank. Watch this video I made. it is me cranking the engine on my test stand. No fuel or spark, only cranking. The spark plugs are in to force compression. You can hear a "fffffffft, fffffffft, ffffffffft" sound, that I don't think is supposed to be there. Link to the video on Flickr Zach |

Let me know how it sounds. Zach Unrelated but... running your engine for the first time at 2000-2500 does not break the rings in. Thats the cam break in time only. Rings are broken in after the engine is installed and load is applied during acceleration/deceleration. The engine sounds pretty good as is. Are you trying to pinpoint the higher pitched you're hearing? Anything super out of the ordinary should be pretty evident, otherwise just go through everything again and make sure stuff is tightened down to spec. At this point, if nothing is clanking and trying to destroy itself, then theres not a whole lot it could be. Just check all the normal stuff i.e. valve adjstment, intakes, exhaust, spinning things rubbing against stuff ect. |
