I ran my car last night hard and hit it with a little spray!!
Well when I was done I herd some fairly loud ticking not normal!!
I pulled over and listened to the motor and it appears to be coming from the # 5 Cyl Top of the motor from what I can tell!!
So today I ran a Compresion test and got this
#1-139psi
#2-140psi
#3-145psi
#4-150psi
#5-170psi and a lot of carbon on the plug!!!!
#6-155psi
#7-150psi
#8-140psi
To plug ground straps where whiteish but none had speckles! all looked good!!
So I know that the bottom End is good Now where to look?
Look at the lifters?
Valve springs?
Push rods?
I have not taken off the valve covers yet and looked I have to take off my intake first!
What would cause all that carbon buildup in #5 That sounds like where the ticking is coming from!
This Tick that I am talking about is a little louder than a loud lifter tick but much Quiter than a rod knock!! What does it sound like when you spin a bearing? This tick kinda sounds like a valve tapping the piston very lightly but only occiosionally (I think I dont know?)
Oh! it felt like it was limping home on 7cyls to kinda missing!
Tell me some thing to look for when I get the intake off and the valve covers!
Guys point me in the right way
Thanks ahead of time !!!
