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. |

The copper sealant won't hold. Make sure that the heat exchanger pipes are level and flat with respect to each other. Some people file the tops of the tubes with a large file--large so they can do both at once to make sure the are on the same plane.
An exhaust leak at the head like that can damage the head and actually blow the aluminum out. Not good... --DD |
