shitty engine troubles

clint282cc · Oct 6, 2008

if any of you remember i just fixed my truck after i burnt the valve about 3 weeks ago. i replaced them with some nice r/t heads. took it to the track, beat the hell out of it, smoked some ricers, i was having a blast with it.

the other day im just casually driving and i turn a corner and the truck starts runnin like ASS. so i put it in neutral and restart it "maybe a computer restart will fix it" and it does nothing. ok well i always foul out plugs due to oil burning so i replace those. nothing. they all looked good and even with replacing them it didnt change.

im not sure of the problem but its like its missing really bad. like i have a dead cylinder. i did hear a little ticking on the passenger side so i pulled the valve cover, but everything looked good. one rocker bolt had a cracked washer and the one half was gone "prolly at the bottome of the oil pan" so i took out the washer and re toqued it. any ideas on my problem. i might put it back together today and ill get a video of it running.

heres the video. you cant really hear it "sorry about the camera" but there are time where you can hear it running rough, especially after i close the door you can hear the tick. this is only cause of the camera. if you can hear it in person its very bad lol

this is what i found behind the truck after i did this. if i let me truck idle for 5 minutes it would leave a little black but this was only a minute and left a lot.

Stuck/busted ring? :huh:

Sounds to me like you need to quit spraying that thing and drive it like a sane person till you find/fix the issue and/or rebuild the engine.

This is were i would start, and watch for leak down thats out of the ordinary. The tick may or may not be related to the runnin like crap problem, my bosses ticks like hell but runs like a champ.

Do the compression test and which ever cylinder's psi is way off from the others is probably the culprit.

Is there any check engine light on? Even if there is, do a check on all the cylinders. Sounds like it may be time for an overhaul.
