Subject: RE: [Chevelle-list] Won an
engine this weekend
I
wish I could, Clint. Ever since I got the car back from having the
rear main seal fixed, it's been running very rough. Before there was a
slight clicking that I initially thought was a injector not firing, or maybe
even a valve needing adjustment. The Accel/DFI guru in Moore, OK can't
get to it for a couple of weeks so he's been trying to diagnose things over
the phone from day to day. Now it's worse than ever and it's developed
an off and on knock - even at idle.
We've eliminated a bad injector - I swapped two from side
to side. I've run the valves so many times it's getting boring.
I've replaced plugs thinking maybe a bad plug, cap/rotor thinking maybe one
cracked and not firing a cylinder or two. All to no avail. It's
the occasional knocking that scares me. Can't tell where it's
coming from and don't know if it's mechanical or if it's because a cylinder
isn't firing.
After keeping the old parts removed (like pan and
dipstick), my Hurst line-lock I had him remove, and scratching up both brand
new Billet Specialties valve covers plus the terrible way it's running, I'm
leary about taking it back to Ron plus it's a 40-45 mile drive and I'm afraid
it might not make it.
I'm going to Goodguys for sure but I'll probably come
down in the Elky and just look at the exhibits and drool over the
cars.

What's the problem,Dale? Are you not going to
drive the car down to the Goodguys event this weekend?

Sounds like a heck of a deal. Wish I knew
whether or not my current 396 is bad or I'd jump on it. Shouldn't
have any problems selling it as is.
