I just got done replacing the head, the car started but ran funny. then it just stopped. I am now flooding terribly in #2 and somewhat in 3 & 4.
Any Ideas? |  |  | | 06-24-2009, 03:54 AM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: Gulfport, Florida Posts: 3,208 |

Any Ideas? | Just for starters I have to ask the dumb questions: 1. Are you 100% sure it is fuel? 2. Year, Make, Engine Model? | | | | | 06-24-2009, 04:34 AM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Raleigh/Charlotte, NC Posts: 1,233 |
from what i understand you can only flood if you aren't getting proper spark. Check your plugs and wires. __________________ -Jeff

Intake cam broke between 1st and 2nd lobe. Now the head has to come back off to replace the intakes in #4 as they are bent. | | | | | 08-09-2009, 05:09 AM | #8 | | Junior Member Join Date: Apr 2009 Location: Battle Ground, WA Posts: 27 |
Well when I was tying to start the engine with the bad cam it took out the first jorunal on the lifter ledge on the intake cam side, $550.00 from new, so I ended up buying a used hed for the lifter ledge and used it instead of the reman head with the bent valves needing replaced( gonna replace them and have a good head sitting on the shelf in my shop. Since the wrecking yard emoved the head with out removing th cam I bolted it up and got it running yeaterday WOOO HOOOOO!.
Posished the timing chain cover anbd thermostat housing while I had them out. | | | | | 08-09-2009, 07:48 AM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: Charlotte / Thomasville NC Posts: 240 |
Wow! Sounds like an ordeal. Glad you got her running and it's always nice to have spares ;-) | | | | |
