Hi folks,
I've just completed my first valve adjustment, and I've put everything back together. However, it doesn't quite sound like it's supposed to. In order to do the valve adjustment, I removed the heat exchangers and muffler. I installed new copper gaskets as well as new muffler gaskets. I'm pretty sure everything is buttoned up the way it should, but it ought to be smoother than it sounds, I think. Do I have an exhaust leak? Poor valve adjustment? Misfiring cylinder? I have enclosed a video that I hope will help y'all help me diagnose. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0p-FsLziB...dit?usp=sharing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7-u00gsHPs...Ty5aEjHwqOvqrkQ |

It does sound like an exhaust leak.
Sometimes the copper seals don't seat properly or the exchangers are cockeyed on the studs. Did you tighten them in stages or one go round? If you tighten them all the way and move to the next stud they can get hung up on a stud. It will feel torqued to spec but not sealed. |
