Noisy valves. - 08/05/06 01:41 PM
well i am finaly driving my 55 1st 3100, i passed MOT without any problems.
Now i am breaking in the engine, it has run only stationary a couple of times the last year.
It is a 261 with a 848 head and a M4F cam, rochester 1bbl and stock ignition.
in the begining the engine did run fine but the last couple of weeks every time i go for a spin it has very noisy valves and runs like crap when i come back.
i adjusted the valves a couple of times at 14/16 and this seems to work for a couple of miles.
i also noticed that it seems to occur only with a few valves around the middle of the head.
it seems that the adjuster on exhaustvalve 2 is turned in 3-4 rounds more than the others.
I did use the old valve train and i have hardned valve seats installed.
i do not want to take the head of yet if it is not nessesery. So if ther is anyone with good advice Please Help !!
Thanks,
Dennis.
