Yesterday I drove from Chicago to Richmond in a freshly sealed 2.0. The car has a slight miss at idle but ran well at speed. The motor did great ran cool until I got to DC. At low speed, the car barley runs. It pops in both intake and exhaust. I got stuck in construction traffic on 95S just south of DC abd I started to overheat. The car couldn't make it up a slight hill. After an hour cool down, I was able to get going but barely. Once through the slow down, all was fine and I made the last 90 miles. I am thinking I have a sticking injector. Later I will use some spared I have with me. Any ideas on this would be appreciated.

After doing a valve adjust I used to do a quick run-thru to check tightness of all the nuts before putting the cover on. One day I found that tightening the rocker arm nuts will quickly eat up whatever lash you thought you had.
Another thing - the rocker arms are lubed under pressure, but if your lash was <0 then there might not be enough oil pressure to overcome pressure from the valve spring. Your rocker arms and/or shafts may be toast. The shafts can be flipped over if they are scored, but I don't think the rockers can be rebushed. Please no (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif) or (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) - just my experience with these things. |
