And now it's time for another episode of... "WHAT'S THAT NOISE?"
This noise started day before yesterday while climbing a steep hill at freeway speed. It's coming from the driver’s side cylinder head. It worsens on acceleration or climbing uphill. Engine starts missing when you accelerate hard, and it frequently misses. Poor acceleration. There's little or no noise present when going downhill at 40 MPH or less, or when coasting on a level surface. It doesn’t seem to be burning oil.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-Q33-pldWE Broken rocker, or valve spring? Floating valve? If I want to look at it with the valve cover off -- is there something I can do to keep oil from getting all over? I saw someone put aluminum foil around the bottom edge of the valve area of a V-8 once, would that help? Thanks as always for any ideas.
