well ludwig still thinks he is a diesel, he is still knocking
what we have done
set the timing at 0, tried it at 3 and 6 and the knocking was worse at 6 degrees and he still knocks
he has oil and it is not milky and it does not have any radiator fluid in it, so we dont think it is a head gasket
we set the valves and ludwig is running even smoother than he was before, he fires right up with the choke and he idles nice and smooth :)
he does not knock when he is revved when he is out of gear
he only knocks when he is in gear and you take off aka release the clutch,he does it in first gear thru third, we ran out of time today to take him for a spin around the block, we have a fair sloping hill that we test him on :)
he has power or at least as much power as a series rover has :D
he has new ignition components and new spark plugs, they are autolites that where the replacements for the ngk,s
we are not thinking bearings, because in our mind he would be knocking constantly, we are leaning toward the gearbox or the transfer case
anyone got any suggestions ? :confused:
