I got the engine started tonight. And as it was running it was missing bad as if though it was running on only 3 Cylinders. But as i take the RPM to around 3k it starts to run really smooth. I cant help but to think that i might have a Fualty injector that is having a hard time opening up untill there is some good pressure behind it. I havent had the chance to Check for spark at all the cylinders or do a spray check on the injectors. Im just trying to get a plan on were to start first.
Also the right bank has a exhust leak that is comming from the head to headers I can look up and see where it left a dark spot on the Copper caskets. Have any of you guys tried exhuast sealent (it is a copper color) to try and fix this. and yes i checked the torque on the studs. |

It sounds like you did a static timing... Good (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)
Now you need to do an actual timing with a light. It could be off enough to make it miss. Let it warm a wee bit before taking it up to 3500 & check the timing. This could be the whole problem. When you increase the RPM's your advance may be getting it close to the proper timing adjustment & that's why it begins running smooth. As for dwell I don't know of anyway to set it accuratly w/o a meter. They are really cheap if you go to a bargain auto parts ($15 - $30). Check out this article on the Bird Board & it might give an idea how to get it close. Timing and Dwell QUOTE Have any of you guys tried exhuast sealent (it is a copper color) to try and fix this. and yes i checked the torque on the studs. I haven't heard of one. You may not have gotten the face of the header flush to the gasket & head or a piece of encrusted crap might be on the face of the header, the gasket or head. Check that & let us know what you find. good luck. ......b |
