Air comming out of air cleaner

[drmeece]

I'm new to the Deuce and don't really know how it's suposed to sound..But on my 72 with c turbo I hear a loud thumping sound comming from the mushroom top..I can put my hand up to it and feel air pulsing out of it..In my mind I'm thinking this is not right..This truck also has overheating issues..I'm thinking stuck valve or something. I did do a serch but couldn't find anything like this..

Intake valve stuck open, or worse.........

And yes, its not right.....

Could be tight or very loose valves. Pull the lids and give it a good tune up and see what happens.

Update...I've got a broken push rod on the exhaust valve on #2 cylinder..Also there is a very small amount of miosture on the rocker arms..I'm hoping just condensation but probably a small crack..I think I'll try some stop leak or aluma seal in it first before replacing a head..Do you guys know of anyplace local to Cincinnati that I can get a pushrod. Also the front bearing in the water pump is bad..Can that be rebuilt or do I have to replace the whole water pump???

Yikes.That is bad.Might wanna go ahead and do a top end rebuild.Make sure a valve didn't come in contact with a piston.Changing pistons and sleeves are easier than replacing an engine later when a damaged piston comes apart.Plus,The Stop leak stuff will do more damage than good!Clog the radiator,coolant passages,etc.If there is a crack,Replace the head.Might work for a week,a month or a year but it will start up again and usually at the worst possible time like when your 300 miles away from home on a trip and no one around to help.

Put air down the injector hole with both pushtubes out of the cylinder. If you hear air hissing out the intake or exhaust, there is a problem. If not, put another pushtube in it and set the valves and see what happens.

Udate#2 I got the parts I needed. Put engine back together alumi seal in the radiator..Now she runs so sweet and doesn't overheat...Thanks for your help guys..

 

[FMJ]

Good luck with her, I hope she holds together! and that your problems were a result of a valvetrain failure.

What you said kept eating at me...So I went ahead and pulled the heads...This iws what I found.

I guess It's time for a rebuild...Thanks for putting it in my head....
