Monday, I think it was I posted about the loud bang. well it wasnt the battery. it is still good. today I got a few minutes, so i connected the battery back on, and went to crank the motor. I now cranks, buton the fourth crank, it makes like a hollow Pop sound from the 1,2 side of the motor. It never fired up and then I saw white smoke coming up from under the car, crawled under and it is seaping out of the exhaust pipes. Anyone know what this might be? Im waiting to ge tme jack stands back so I can really get under the car.
Thanks Andy Rattley |

Do a Valve adjustment. Is your distributor off by 180 degrees?

I'll second the distributor being 180 degrees out. swap the 1 and 3 plug wires at the cap and swap the 2 and 4. See if things sound any better.

If the car turns over, do a compression check on all cylinders. That will point you towards the bad cylinder. Then pull the valve covers and check for a valve that has excessive clearance (like a half inch or better) Lock one wheel, rotate other wheel with car in 5th gear, and watch the entire valve operation on all cylinders. Problems with a dropped seat will show up there. Hopefully you did not damage the piston.
