Klicking noice

Post by swede »

Gents,

Need some input regarding a strange klicking noice that recently turned up, it sounds to be from the valves so it migth be time for some adjustments or is it something else.
I know that the petrol company have added a few procent extra alcohol into the gas this year and this was my first test run so question is how much effect that alcohol will add to this problem.

The car runs great so I cant really feel any loss off power just som irritating klicking noice.
All input is welcome.

Is the clicking at idle or under load?

I can hear the klicking noice up to 2000 rpm, there is so much other noices after 2000 rpm so its hard to say if its continues.
Have tried with fuel booster and even adjusting the timing but nothing works so next step is to check the valve clearance tommorow.

Exhaust leak :? will that make noice similar to valve klicking?
It sounds just like the old 350 chevy I hade when the hydralic lifter was bad so thats why Im suspecting the valves.

Anyway Mark, I will soon be on my way to your place so I can get my hands on your electronic distributor system.
Im hoping it will give little boost of new life into my engine.
Do I need to order it in advance or can I just show up?
