May Day !! Down a cylinder

philbilly · 04-30-2014, 03:31 PM

I got rained out today so i decided to do some more work. I glued the crap out of intake and put it back like it was. i fired it and was pretty much the same. I loosened the rockers ran it withem loose for a few and then adjusted on them while running. Somehow someway My cylinders are burning the plug looks great now. I beat it up and down the road for a bit and seemed to be running good.

So, what did you find? How did you have such a great cylinder leakage percentage with a valve hanging open? Was the lifter bottomed out to the point where the valve only closed with room temperature non-expanded parts,( i.e valve stem and pushrod) and was held off its seat when things hit operating temperature? If loosening the lash did this, that must have been the case. Hope your concrete project turns out as nice.
