J (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Bad news! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
saturday something gave out or blew out. Don't know what. At first it sounded like a exhaust leak louder on acceleration, letting of at first seemed ok then got louder. Im no engine mechanic but it I a valve and/or piston problem. Very specifically from the right side. I think rear cylinder. I am in beaufort sc so need to find someone close. I put new s.s.h.e. with triad exhaust on 1500 miles ago no problems it is not an exhaust leak. More of a clank (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) So it is a 75 2.0 with 130,000 d jet had been running great. Last 3tanks got 32-35 mpg! No leaks and oil use. I've had 1 year. If I have to take this apart I think I want something like. The 2056? Upgrade cam thing like jake rang does. So jake how much? For simple upgrade cam with valve.piston. head don't know yet but I thought it was running great. I do not drive it hard. Just became a d.d. to/ from work. I do not have the ability to lift high enough to drop the engine myself. any advice on where to take it? 5 horst from atlanta, 4 from charlolette n.c. Help! Phil |

I will be in Hilton Head this weekend for the concours. Maybe I can drop by and listen to the engine, Phil.

George, Wow that would be great, but I actually have to be in florida saturday and sunday ( I ocasionally teach college and post. Grad sports chiropractic classes) so depends on when u are coming and leaving. Im in beaufort but would put it on a car hauled and bring it over just to have the chance to meet you, and get your opinion on this. Phil [/quote] |
