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 |

doesn't that just piss you off? You do all that work and something just ain't right? I guess exhaust too. see if you can run it on jack stands and find the leak. Those copper seals can get cocked. Did you heat treat them first?
