Wow , I've never seen this before .

I guess my cap flew off somewhere , sometime , anyone know what this loose piece is and what it does.

I think this was the issue , TTI gaskets about 5 months old , maybe it was me putting them on , I don't know , I still need to do the passenger tomorrow , this is driver side only , I replaced with Remflex gaskets .

I just did the stethoscope on the valve covers , slight tick but the same from front to back , changing the gaskets tomorrow or next day to Remflex , header and collector , hopefully that's it , I used sealant on the other ones from TTI , Im not using any on the Remflex .

It's hard to believe this sound is an exhaust leak , I don't care about changing gaskets .

I just ordered a stethoscope so maybe will help , the thing is when I put the new headers on it made that noise but went away then the other day I was going down the highway and it made a pop sound then backfired and of course stopped the car and wouldn't fire up , probably the timing chain but...

Im feeling that now .

I hope it is , some people on another group said lifter etc. but most people said header leak , I'm putting on Remflex gaskets and take my time with it .

That's what most people say but a couple said lifter , tappet or rod , I haven't been working on this car long enough to know all the ins and outs , new to the old Mopar stuff but learning .

I'm a change oil and brake pads mechanic , I have learned a lot working on this car but the technical stuff still floats by the brain cells I have left , I just did order a stethoscope that will be here tomorrow and I also ordered Remflex header gaskets and collector gaskets , the car came with...

This sound is back , just had my distributor crap out on me , luckily it wasn't my chain . IT sounds like a header leak and it sounds like lifter or tapped type issue.

It does say 1971 , not sure , my front valance is 11.5 from ground to top of valance .

I just measured mine , which originally was a 318 car is just under 18 center front bumper , 70 Barracuda.

I was thinking this was a fender to ground height , this is tire size , correct , my bad .

I was asking if the chart is correct that with my tire size the height should be 26.1 up front .
