Down Again

New 540's with 5 hours on them and one let loose yesterday. Horrible ticking noise followed by the engine stalling. Took the valve covers off and everything looked good. Did a compression test and cylinders 3 & 7 had no compression while 1 & 5 had a 140psi. Anyone have any guesses to what it might be. This sucks :mad: :mad:

Re: Down Again

I dropped a valve seat once and it sounded like what your talking about. Brand new motor, screwed the whole thing up. Hope yours is not as bad.

Re: Down Again

Two intake lifters stuck (apparently not enough clearance). Bent a couple valves. It should be running by the weekend.
