(the shut be spring-loaded). When I run the engine whit out the sparkplugs I dit not hear any noise that this whas happened???????????? When I started for the first time the oilpressure whas good. What cut be the problem ???????????o No: o No: Thanks very muts in advance. koos diedel.
The only thing I can think of is the push rods or lifters were different, which is not uncommon when dealing with an engine that hasnt been produced since the early 80's. The manufacturers get really sloppy when boxing parts for older engines. You didnt happen to over rev this thing when in 4 wheel low did yah:grin: Mark
Hello Mark, The parts are from Summit. But wy only 6 pusehrods and only the intake valve. I put a th2004R transmision in it. no 4x4 any more. Thanks fore your reply. Greetings. :Comp:
