Hello I recently did a valve job on my 73 maverick and I'm having trouble with one of the push rods, it seems to not be going in strate any help or ideas
Hay guys just put my head back together I had like four lifter that we wasted,now that I put everything back together my car starts but it dies I need to constantly press the gas or if not the car dies what could be the problem any help
Not getting sufficient fuel... curb idle not set properly Idle mixture not set properly Fuel filter plugged up Vacuum leak The list goes on...
Wow sounds like a lot but Im afraid that's the least of my problems. When I was putting my head back togther one of the bolts broke off when putting the cover on the head so we took it to a shop where they could tap into it and rethread it, I could of did it my self but I didn't want to damage the head. So I get it back thinking I was finally done with it and when I fire it up I see a ridiculous amount of white smoke only to finds that the oil is mixed with the water now I have a crackhead, the mechanic told me he broke three Hilo coils trying to get it out and said after the third one he was hlgoing to make it bigger.I'm going to take it back to him and tell him that he cracked my head and go on from there but if worst comes to worst where would I look for a new head. I know most most newer heads are made out of a different material then what they made them out of in 73
