Budget 340 Upgrades

leak down test will not tell you anything about the condition of the camshaft...it only tells you how the engine is sealed....leaking either from the rings or valves....

take the valve covers off...and slowly turn the engine over...watch the action of the valves....or turn engine over 90 degree at a time on the crankshaft according to the firing order...then check the rocker to valve relationship ..look for excessive clearance between the rocker and tip of valve.....

Right on if the engine is sealed then the problem must be the cam. If there's excessive leak down past the rings then I'll pull the motor and do the whole thing. If I need too do the top and bottom it will take longer to get the money to do it all. I'm pretty sure it needs a cam due to the noise.
