Fuel injectors were installed. Engine start tried. Ran but rough. Replace the plug wires on driver side - engine smoothed out - but one lifter is clattering like crazy. Ran for about 20-30 minutes until engine warmed up, no change. Added half a bottle of Marvel's Mystery Oil to the engine oil. Ran for 30 minutes. noted an oil leak around the large pulley at the rear of the van. Not sure the actual cause - just a slow oil drip onto the ground. Must check out more thoroughly tomorrow. New power steering rack gets installed tomorrow also. Progress!! Yea! -- John Rodgers Clayartist and Moldmaker 88'GL VW Bus Driver Chelsea, AL Http://www.moldhaus.com |
