Now that my ranger seems to be running well I turned back to the 89 Bronco II 2.9 4x4 5 speed.
I was in the middle of flushing the engine when we talked about this last as the previous owner or the tow shop I bought it from poured engine flush in and didn't drain it.
Anyway I got past the first flush with sea foam solvent and the oil pressure got better... a lot of crap came out. I cleaned the valve covers of the 1/4 of sludge build up and removed the rocker shafts and actually just fluid and air flushed the weep holes til they seemed clean. All thats reinstalled and I backed off and readjusted the valves starting from 1.25 turns from zero. I have 4 quarts of oil and new filter and a quart of atf I was planning to run before the Valve covers went back on.
I decided to start it up to be sure it was a little quieter (they should quiet down if the lifter manage to get oiled better I hope. But noticed something strange.
On the right head, near cylinder 6, where the threaded hole for the Valve cover faster goes in... it spews exhaust I believe. oil and exhaust.
I am fucked right?
