Cylinder Head
On my 29 I always had a problem getting a good idle. Car runs fine under load and never overheats. Thought I would check to get it right.Checked vacuum and had alot of fluctuations. Checked valve adjustment and compression check.1and4 @74# 2and3@50#. Did percent leakage test and 1 and @20 percent 2 and 3@90 percent. Also air going from 2to3 and 3to2 like a blown head gasket! I'm going to pull the head but has anyone experienced this with no overheat or bubbles in radiator and running fine off idle! Very unusual!!

Re: Cylinder Head
You could very easily have a leak between cylinders with no leak of coolant. The width of the head gasket between cylinders 1&2 and 3&4 is pretty narrow.
Good Day! |
