Well after finding out my car was only hitting on 7 cyl. I was very impressed with its performance.
I noticed when I pulled into the garage from it's maiden voyage, there was a tick or allmost a light knock in the motor.. I hoped it was loud injectors, but knew it was something more...
Well I found it!! while removing the rocker arms to retorque the head, I noticed the #1 Exhaust rocker was all but falling off!! The adjustment nut had backed itself off and the rocker was VERY loose! at first I thought it must have been one of the rockers I had to take off to put on the superRam, but it was nowhere near that area.. Which means it came from the engine shop like that!
Well I hope this is the only thing I find wrong with the motor!! all the othernuts were still tight..
So I have had one plug that hasnt fired, and an exhaust valve that probably wasnt opening much, if any!!
