Heading out to Martensville last Monday, to help Hambone with his wiring, the Antiquated Mule threw a shoe. Engine shook (more) noisy and unbalanced. One cylinder not firing I think. Plugs had spark, wires were good... Time for the guru. Headed over to the Great Daryl P's for a proper diagnosis. Pulled a burnt rotor from the dist. and replaced it with one D had from V8 super stock. Nope. Still no cylinder #1. Compression test showed 0. Damn. Finger in the hole revealed sucking but no blow. Hmm. Pulled the valve cover to discover an intake valve had thrown a nut. Loose as a...well you know her. Tightened a new nut in place and Bobs yer uncle. Runs smother than I ever remember. What'll I do with all that extra power? Thanks Daryl!
