Bought 1977 ford LTD II
Hey everyone,
I just bought a 1977 ford LTD II it runs ok ($150). It has a 351-w which I hear is a hell of an engine. NO smoking or nothing. Just it misses on cylinder 8. The engine makes a small ticking noise on the right hand bank on cylinder 8. I've pulled the valve cover and discovered one of the rocker arms was off of the valve and a bent push rod on the other. I had to pull the intake manifold to get the push rod out. after I got it all put together It ran like a dream. But the ticking noise was still there. Though not as bad! I think it's a bad or worn lifter.And after a week or two its starting to miss agian. Any advice I could use it, I'm a little tight on money and any help will be appreciated. Thanks
:eek:
