I was on a drive two days ago and after 10 min on the freeway the engine note changes and it takes more pedal to maintain speed. I found an exit and visually checked that my timing hadn't slipped ( it hadn't). My number 1 plug was oily and black, all others were fine. I have since changed plugs and the engine will not accelerate as cleanly as it had before. I have yet to check the plugs again since a test ride. Before this problem it had been running great for a long time.
The engine is a 2.0L, 9350 cam, 40IDF, 009 dizzy. |

There's only three ways out of the rocker area in a 2.0 head....
Through the opening created by removing the valve cover.. Down a pushrod tube... Out one of those vacuum ports.... I'd pull the rocker shafts and the pushrods and go diving down the pushrod tubes with a magnet on a stick. Go all the way to the lifters, there isn't any other place to go that way. Or, pull the pushrod tubes too and go magnet diving in the lifter bores to make sure they aren't near the lifters... No joy? Check the vaccuum system venting from the top of the heads til you find them. Still no joy? Better dissasemble the motor until you find them or you will hear it go BOOM when one of them gets where you don't want it. |
