The eternal struggle is over, and I won!

Finally got it to start with the help of two warm batteries, a splash of fresh gas, and a can on either. It still has that tick in the engine but thats a job for warmer weather.

Now THAT was a cold start!!!! LOL!!

[bah53]

@mbyr31 Yeah no kidding, it took two damn days lol.

[enfieldpolice]

stuck lifter , broken rocker ?

[bah53]

@enfieldpolice Could be, I'm sure I'll figure it out once the weather warms up.

[101xfmrogers]

Yes the sound of the valve is very evident. It's strange that the valve is noisy when the motor is warm. You would think that the opposite would happen.

[bah53]

@101xfmrogers Yeah I thought that was weird too

[jpvproductions74415]

Probably lifters, valves, something like that

[Bunkers101]

Wipers are trying to move because they have to make a complete motion be for shutting off. I think anyways. Lol

Hey man....stop working so hard.

Fresh gas and a good oil change and good plugs, and HEAT.Lay off the ether or your oil pan will blow eventually. like a bomb.....

[robineggb]

pour some tranny fluid in your oil and that should quiet it down...stickey lifter.

That car would be great as a daily commute, but you'd be a little late once every two days. The other two days you wouldn't make it at all.

[towrecker]

I bet it has a flat wore out rocker arm pivot !

[y2kxj]

its a leaky lifter... my truck does the same... add some "lucas oil" and take it for a good ride... it will go away...

[coffeefish]

A shed would help. You could park it out of the snow.

[fordfanatic100]

I'm not sure what that tick is, but I here it a lot. I think it's a FORD V8 thing. Like a "TIMEX", takes a lickin', keeps on tickin'.

[tizvicious]

what a colossal pile of shit
