The story on the Javelin race that broke my car

Some people need to lighten up, geez.........I have met the OP and he is a great guy, we all have done things we shouldn't have so lets cut him some slack. I bet some of the comments here will make him think twice next time before doing something like this again when little ones are around.

I was gonna guess a bent pushrod.

Could be :thumleft:

Personally I think we should have 3 or 4 more threads on this. There's already two, and I didn't bother to read the first one.

I must have missed them :glasses3:

I am pulling the valve covers tonight, probably the intake if I have time. We are getting 6-9 inches of freaking snow today anyway. I'll post what I find later.

Keep us up dated :glasses7:

is it possible that the tick ia coming back through the carb? maybe lift the air cleaner and see if it gets louder?

i had one that had valve train issues and a "POP" was coming through the carb but sounded like a tick with the air cleaner on and holding some of the sound in.

Dang Raini, good call :thumleft:

We all know we should not race with a baby in the car.........it is unnecessary weight! :oops:
Seriously though, too bad about the lifter / rod / header gasket or whatever the tick is. Hope the fix is as easy as a minor adjustment.

Totally a horrible tragedy that could have been avoided if just ONE person would have made the "right" choice. :-) Very sad for all. :sad7:

True ,,,, Very true :smile:
