Re: [DML] Good news for vin 2277 AT LAST!!

["Bernie" <bmanderville@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well the easiest way to find out is adjust the valves.  Dave has heard
and anyone else that saw the video of my Black Beauty (4045) with a
nasty ticking noise coming from the left front valve area, and it
isn't an exhaust leak.  I wanted it to be an exhaust leak.  That's why
she is in Houston getting a stage II engine upgrade among other things.

An exhaust leak won't hurt the engine but will drive you nuts, as it
get worse.
