Megatherion Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I decided to calibrate the valve lash yesterday, but now I have a problem and I have no idea as to what it may be, here I've posted a video of when I started the engine today when it was cold, then as you can hear after the engine warmed a little, this is where the problem begins, also my manifold gasket is leaking, so don't pay attention to that noise. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6lQug7Zt-c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozconnection Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Crumbs, that noise is pretty loud! The idle speed is very very low and your engine is shaking around on the verge of stalling. It's not a vibrating bracket or something obvious like that is it? Get the engine at a verified 750 rpm and see what she runs like then. Otherwise, pull the camcover off again and do an inspection. Of everything! After that, it's someone else's call. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnusx1 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Crossed plug wires, damaged plug, valve lash too tight keeping an intake valve open a little, loose spark plug. It definitely has a misfire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeron Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Thermotime sensor??? Were any valves in particular, far from proper adjusment?? Pull the spark plugs and check each one to see what the burn in the engine is like. Clean them, run it a bit, then check them again. Unless one of the valves was way out of whack before you adjusted it, I am going to guess "completely random coincidence" on the timing of this problem... meaning I doubt it has a very obvious connection with the valve adjustment.

Megatherion Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 the problem has gone, today I put a new spark plug set and changed the thermotime sensor, now it seems to be working well, thanks for your help guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
