Driving home tonight the bus went BOOM! Then chuckchuckchuckchuck....running rough.
No metallic sounds. I drove it the rest of the way home easy (a few blocks) because I'm diabetic and had to get something to eat.
What's a dropped valve sound like?

Re: What's a dropped valve sound like?
Nevermind. I went out with a flashlight this morning and it is number 1 sparkplug blown out of the head.
Not sure how to go about fixing that. It was already Helicoiled. I'll figure something out I suppose, but its raining.
Could pull it into the garage, but rather wait for the weather to change.

Helicoil it again with a bigger one?
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue, I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace. Where never lark, or even eagle flew. And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod, The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

No such animal, but thank you.Sylvester wrote:Helicoil it again with a bigger one?
I ordered an oversize Time Sert online though, plus a tap. There are no over the counter parts or tools in Des Moines except the really common stuff.
