The car was running fine. Then last week, it started to pop and backfire on the freeway at 70 in 5th. It did fine in 4th at 70. Later in the day going up a grade at 70, it started to backfire real bad and lost power. I pulled over and it wouldn't idle. It was hard to start and then died. Investigation found fuel on the air cleaner cover on the passenger side carb.
Is this an indication that this float is bad? Is there a way to test the float vs. the valve? Does this look like too much fuel in the bowl? Thanks, Roger |

It’s been 5 years. But I finally got to drop the engine and remove the head.
Pretty ugly. Repairable, or should I be looking for some new heads? What causes this? Want to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Thanks Attached image(s) |

Want to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Thanks Overheated engine,tight exhaust valve clearances,lean carb setting or lean FI,or timing wrong and a few others, surprized the valve seats didn't come loose...dodged a bullet there,lucky guy. The heat gaskets don't look great and have been leaking. Find a good used head...only solution but you need to find what caused it from the start,good luck. |
