Re: [Chevelle-list] Ticking from #4 Cylinder :-(

If its not an exhaust leak and you cant adjust the noise out of the rocker arm, could be a flat lobe on the camshaft, had it happen to me. Lifter would never adjust and turned out to be a flat lobe. Dale McIntosh From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On

Re: [Chevelle-list] Pre paint

Hey guys, I am on my way out to pick up some Prepsol so I can clean up my front end parts for painting. I've read there are similar products that are a lot cheaper. Anyone have any experience with these?? Thought I'd check first. Thanks Jim S.

It follows the RPM. If i remove the spark plug bootfrom that cylinder the ticking disappears! Would you give the same diagnose with the additional info above? How do I adjust ther rocker arm? Pelle - Original Message - From: Dale To: 'The Chevelle Mailing List'

Re: [Chevelle-list] Ticking from #4 Cylinder :-( (addidional info)

To adjust the valves you will either need a set of oil deflector clips or you can take an old valve cover and cut open the top above the adjuster nuts. Otherwise oil will fly all over the place and make a huge mess out of your engine compartment. IIRC you tighten the nut over the

Ok! I think I get it? A few additional Q's... Is adjusting "valve lash" "adjusting rocker arms"the same thing? Is the push rod itself adjustable? I guess that a "flat lobe" requires a change of camshaft? Pelle - Original Message - From: John Nasta To: The Chevelle

Re: [Chevelle-list] Ticking from #4 Cylinder :-( (addidional info)

If removing the boot (hence no spark) makes the ticking disappear, Id check the plug boot for arcing. A lose rocker arm would make noise whether the cylinder is firing or not its still going up and down. Try switching #2 and #4 (or #4 and #6) wires at both the distributor and plug and see

Re: [Chevelle-list] Ticking from #4 Cylinder :-( (addidional info)

That can be a leak at the header. With no spark, there is no explosion, and no big puff out the header. When the noise is happening, put a few foot long piece of heater hose or similar tubing all around the header flange and follow that pipe to the collector. If there is an exhaust leak,
