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 |

Jack it up and chock the wheels, start it up and crawl under with a 2-foot length of fuel hose. Stick one end of the hose in your ear and move the other end around to listen for where the objectional noise is coming from. You'll be able to determine if it's an exhaust leak or clacking valve train pretty easily using this method.
Are you sure any of the old copper exhaust gaskets aren't still stuck up in the recessed areas in the heads? ... and you added one on top of it? I've known a few folks that have [accidentally] done this ... |
