ok so the problem wit the misfire was the plug wire an the ticking was a bent valve? juss making sure cuz im having that problem now..

[carlosg815]

@LilWinn19 no the misfire was the bent valve. The bent valve was the entire problem and once I replaced that the car was problem free.

The easiest way to check is to put a spark plug fitting onto an air compressor and put a little air into each cylinder via the spark plug hole. If you hear hissing out the tailpipe, that is a bent exhaust valve on that cylinder. If it is hissing out the throttle body, then it is a bent intake valve on that cylinder.

Your gonna blow it up dumbass, sounds like a rocker is loose, I blew one off my stock LT1 at 5K rpms remove the valve cover and check them all out if there Loose.

Also you have a terribly bad exhaust leak. is ur oxygen sensors hooked up?

[carlosg815]

Wow, dipshit, this was posted a year ago. And you think I didn't know about the exhaust leak? The exhaust wasn't hooked up at the time, it was headers and Y pipe only, why do you think it was so loud? Holy dumb mother fucker batman, thank god for Xx573x3xX.

The problem wasn't with the rockers, it was with a valve and it's been resolved for a year, like the day after this video.

The problem was actually a bent valve. It was bent when I put on the heads and I didn't know. Replaced the valve, and it's been great every since.

Hey, dtluis I'd be mad too if I had to drive a prius to my job everyday at the tampon factory, but don't take it out on the rest of us who drive real cars. Of course your car never breaks, you need horsepower to break stuff.

you have a problem with air/fuel mixture the sensor is fucked... if you accelarete and drowns can be from plugs gap or not with single electrod...(winter espcialy,by summer you dont realise)

someone start a lawn mower?

ticking could be from bad fuel injectors

@LilWinn19 dude 2 other reasons for a valve tick .. a loose rocker arm or a push rod thats slightly worn.. ie every time the valve opens and closes, the push rod strikes the rocker instead of being pushed between the cam shaft and the rocker. that 1 mil distance it slides is the click you hear..its been a chevy problem for 50 years. replace push rods at 35-50k miles depending on how hard you push your car. and you will usually never have the tick again. ignore it,U will get a bent valve stem 2

@FelchBelcher chevy and gm roll hand in hand supporting evidence is they both own a product called "Cutlass"

[chamblizi]

@FelchBelcher gm's problem is they have to many retiree's drawing money which is why they cant afford to produce year around
