Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Wow did it feel good to be working on Dumbo. After a season and a half under the hood is just very dirty and dusty. Removing the engine is a must to get clean.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
I may have found an occasional miss fire, engine coolant in the spark plug well. I think Dumbo will be quicker hitting on all 16 plugs.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
All plugs a little bit oily but not real bad. It so much easier to check valve lash with the engine out

Reason is locks only clamp on the valve stem below the groove, the ID of the lock is larger above the groove. |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Thanks I will check that.
Spoke with someone that had some thoughts on why the head leaked coolant in to the spark plug bore. Coolant casting core flotation. I wonder why it took two seasons of racing to appear on this head an only one season to cause a problem on the odd cylinder head. One of life’s little mysteries. |
