In this part of the South, and some other parts, there's a saying that goes somewhat like this "Y'all ain't gonna believe this stuff".
Anyway, I pulled the plugs and gave the engine a few spins to clean out the PB Blaster from last evening. I found all plugs gapped okay except #1 gap was almost closed. Gapped to .025 then swapped #1 with #2. Then installed all plugs. Engine still smoking and running too ragged to suit me.
Adjusted timing. It was considerably off. Engine now runs smooth and.....NO smoke. That's correct, no smoke from valve cover. Ran engine for about 10 mins and no smoke at start-up or for entire 10 mins or so.
Then tested compression on hot engine. From 1 to 4 the readings were: 80, 100, 95, 95. Finger temperature from one of the hot plugs became somewhat elevated.
Other things to do for a bit, them I'm thinking of removing valve cover for a "look" and replacing with a cleaned and painted cover. Wonder if I could figure out how to check valve tappet gap? Wonder if there's where to do it? Wonder if the H in 0.014H means with engine Hot?
Wonder if anyone would clue me in regarding my wonders - if I'd listen?
