- Smoked a lifter and had the ignition box go bad at the same time. Just my luck I suppose. Please enjoy my misery. Truck is running and driving perfect now for last 6k miles. This video was recorded back in June of 2023 I just didn’t have the heart to edit it. Thanks for watching.
That thumbnail is great. LOL!
Hopefully it helps with the algorithm
Thumbnail is hilarious 😂
Got to think outside the box
Haha, we have all been there bro! I did all the same stuff, pull the intake, checked valve terrain, went through ignition, and carb. It ran good until I hit 45mph. The problem, no problem, it was in 4wd low, but the hubs weren’t locked in🤣. I forgot I had pulled a buddy out of the mud. It had me chasing my tail!
That would be a good one It’d be a head scratcher for sure
Yes sir 100 o/0 carburetor problem sir … just went through this with mine … starving for fuel in back sencondary bowl and looks like you have bent push rods .. good luck!!
When I installed new intake I think I cleaned all the oil off the lifters
Glad you got her fixed up. With the damaged lifters... does the camshaft get worn out too or is the failure point the lifters (softer metal), sorry for dumb question. I have a 78 Bronco project with a 400 and if I ever get time to work on it and find similar issues, should I replace the camshaft also?
Can you do a detailed video of this if you change yours? I have so many requests for videos from my battery not charging to if I should rebuild the 2150 or just upgrade the intake/carb as you have done, but I haven't even check for good compression even though it seems to run fine, but can't drive it, one of the air/mix screws is seized, no brake lights either. The Bronco lifts up in the rear also when put in drive. I could go on and on, so I better quit, lol
Thanks for all your vids on the Bronco, I learn something every time.
You can easily damage the cam if you drive with it ticking but fortunately I drove it straight home. Iv learned zinc additives are a must with the modern oils. I’ll make a “how to go through an engine without tear down” video soon.
Look forward to it, thanks.
