I'm still trying to set up my engine, a little at a time. (Timing, changing leaking injectors, pressure system, you know the stuff) The engine appears to idle smooth, no back firing, timed properly but, while underneath the car listening for valve train noise I happened to put my hand near each exhaust pipe. Cylinder #3 was noticably cooler than the rest. I couldn't touch any of the other three and I couldn't hold onto #3 but I could touch it briefly. It was too hot to hold but not to touch. The car has only been running maybe 10 minutes total on and off but I was surprised to see this.
Could it be a bad injector not supplying enough fuel, too much fuel? It is one of the ones I will have to change becuase it is weeping a bit of fuel but I was just wondering?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) The other thing I was wondering is how long should it take for the bellows to operate to open the cooling ducts. The car is in the garage, up on stands, but it was only about 40*F in there with the doors open. The bellows never opened in ten minutes but the engine never appeared to get that hot.
