New proablem
By Al - 03/18/2001 1:29:37 AM; IP 152.163.213.69
I put the pan back in and it did help with oiling lifters ( the tapping keep on without it and quit with it installed). now Im getting a loud tapping from, I think, both sides and a good miss when its running. I checked the wires, plugs, carb , push rod straightness, and ignition timming. There good. So confirm my fears . Its either the rocker arms and shafts or a burnt valve or valves..........you think? With my luck with this truck its proably both and the oil pump. Ive only had the truck since December and this is my first FE. I want to keep it and the FE engine if I can get this one going good and it can be reliable. I have heard that FE oiling systems and the valve trains are weak but can be very strong with some easy mods. What are they? Sorry about the letter here but I want this FE to run well for a long time.
