Post by daysofthunder »

this is how its running currently . not my engine but the same fault

Im heading down the route of hydraulic lifters tonight to see if its a stuck open valve

Has anybody experienced this before ?

Shed some light please so I can go camping soon

Thanks

Do a compression check to be sure about valves.

Could be over fueling if the main gasket has failed or the floar chamber valve has failed.

You can check the valve operation by simply removing the rocker cover, then getting a pal to rotate the engine.
