Hey guys have a NC 302 pretty much stock, when i start the car cold it wont idle corectly seems to run like its got a cam in it but it doenst.
when under load it ticks like crazy and no tick on idle or when just giving it a rev in Neutral. just wondering if i have a noisy lifter or is it another issue and how to look for and rectify it Thanks |

if it only does it under load and not when free revving its more than likely pinning

should i start with plug gaps and maybe retard the timing a little?

Could also possibly be a f**k exhaust manifold gasket.
They get worse under load.

that would sound about right as when i bought the car there was 3 bolts missing on either side for the headers i put some in, but gasket could of gone to poo while it only had a few bolts in it

ok played with it today, the sound is comming from piston 1, its on sublte on idle but gets loud on load.
i retarded the timing a little and it was a little better but did not go away, so i retarded it a little more and it stalled so put it back, any ideas, the spark plug looked ok gave it a clean anyway, made no difference, found a vac leak and fixed that and it solved my idle issue but stick a taping noise from piston 1 under load. |

Remove the plug lead of the cylinder the noise is coming from and take it for a quick drive.
If it disappears you may be looking at a stuffed gudgeon pin.
