misfires By John - 05/15/2004 12:48:08 PM; IP 142.177.103.85 Sadly, I hadn't got around to replacing my 428 headgaskets for almost 2 years. So I finally got the enigne back together and it is misfiring very badly. I used the same plugs as before, so maybe they got damp sitting aorund in the garage for all that time, plus I havn't checked the timing yet with a light. But I am wondering about the gas going bad. I know it can seriously affect a single cylinder engine, but I would think a V-8 would be less susceptible to this. Oddly enough my oil pressure fluctuates a bit with the misfires. The oil is still clear though with no evidence of metal. A rusted cam bothered me...I worry too much...Anyway, anybody any thoughts before I go through draingin the gas, putting in new plugs and adjusting the timing? That's some eveing this week coming up...NOT another two years.....LOL.

This thread, so far...
