alright. i bled the cooling system and their were a fair amount of air bubbles that came up. Im going to test drive it today and see if that did the trick. also i bought a block tester just to expand my tool collection and noticed that when i pour in the fluid to the tester, it leaks fluid from the tip. not alot but it drips out. is this normal or is this tool broke?

coolant is all the way full. the fans are working fine as well. even driving down the interstate at 80mph it still does it. so thats why i dont think it is a cooling fan issue.

Yes I actually ran through them twice before putting it all back together. But I still have to do it again because I have a tick now. Can I adjust the valves on the base circle? I followed the service manual and it said to take the upper timing cover off and bring it to TDC and adjust #1 valves then rotate counter clockwise 90 degrees and adjust #3 valves. Turn counter clockwise 90 degrees and adjust #4 valves…etc…it takes quite some time getting all of that off so I was wondering if I could adjust the valves on the base circle

Yes. Exhaust was tighter. I have noticed during my drive after it was done that it unleashed a lot of power. Definitely feels a lot different with the valves finally adjusted correctly.

The valve lashes weren’t off by that much. Just a little on the tight side. I’ve completed the valve adjustment. I’ve cranked up the car and I can definitely hear some ticks so next weekend ill have to go in again and adjust the ones that are lose. It was quite a challenge to do though. Eric is right. This is an acquired skill that you learn over time. I can see what he means by that.

I’ve narrowed it down to wheel bearings. Nothing is lose suspension wise. I just don’t know which wheel bearing is bad.

ok. that is what i was wondering. i have a husky professional 1/2 inch composite impact wrench and i called husky. They told me i dont need to do anything with the allen head port but if i wanted to i could take the screw out and load it with air tool oil.
