So, who can tell me what's wrong in this photo?

thelews · « **Reply #1 on:** November 20, 2011, 14:54:45 »

It has a red X?

You haven't allowed access to your photograph to the rest of the world in Picasa.... Where do I collect my prize?

stickandrudderman · « **Reply #3 on:** November 22, 2011, 11:31:41 »

Opps!
I've tried to modify it so that it has public access but it still doesn't show. I'm doing it through google photos. What next?
(I'm better at fixing cars than I am messing with computers!)

You could upload the picture here...

stickandrudderman · « **Reply #5 on:** November 22, 2011, 14:27:58 »

You could volunteer the information on how to do it.

Go to the file in your documents (or wherever you store them) and make sure that the file size is small enough for web posting and modify it if not.
Come back to the forum and open your post.
Go to where it says "additional options" tab in the bottom left of your screen and click on the "browse" button. Double click on your chosen file and save/post.
Easy when you know how. Takes days when you don't!

OK, so now there is a photo.

Looks like the engine will have trouble running w/o the valve cover?

stickandrudderman · « **Reply #9 on:** November 22, 2011, 18:06:32 »

Actually, no it won't! It will make a mess though!

Naj ✝︎ · « **Reply #10 on:** November 22, 2011, 19:05:09 »

Centre bracket for the valve cover bolt looks rather bent (probably by overtightening).
Makes a racket when engine is running?

Cam lobe worn on cylinder #4??

My thought as well.

DaveB · « **Reply #14 on:** November 23, 2011, 03:56:58 »

The wear on the cam lobes indicates that the cam is offset forward relative to the rocker arms. But I don't think that's too unusual so probably not it?

stickandrudderman · « **Reply #15 on:** November 23, 2011, 10:01:28 »

Keep trying!!

Brake boost line coming from centre of Manifold not side?

thelews · « **Reply #17 on:** November 23, 2011, 13:10:59 »

What's wrong with the photo is size, lighting, shadows and focus.

badali · « **Reply #18 on:** November 23, 2011, 13:35:18 »

The tube is on the wrong side and the hold down straps are backwards.

tel76 · « **Reply #19 on:** November 23, 2011, 21:19:18 »

Inlet lobe on #4 worn away.

wwheeler · « **Reply #20 on:** November 23, 2011, 23:37:20 »

One stud missing that secures the right side throttle shaft bracket?

Benz Dr. · « **Reply #21 on:** November 24, 2011, 02:41:19 »

The picture only needs to show you what you need to see.

While not that clear, there was no valve lash at all on number 5 intake valve. Probably burned the valve out resulting in zero compression..

DaveB · « **Reply #22 on:** November 24, 2011, 03:01:46 »

I think I get that - is the symptom that the base circumference is worn away, not just the lobe?

Benz Dr. · « **Reply #23 on:** November 24, 2011, 14:58:50 »

There is only a .003'' gap between the base circle and the rocker when propery adjusted. Normally the base circle will have little or no wear which indicates that there actually is some play bewteen the rocker and the and the cam shaft.
This one had no lash at all and the base circle shows heavy contact from rubbbing on the rocker. It may or may not have resulted in a burned intake valve. If it did burn through the valve, that's because intake valves are not designed to handle hot gasses like an exhaust valve can.

Amen to that, John. I can't see anything of value in that photo due to the aforementioned issues. So, kudos to people like Dan Caron and others who can see through a low resolution, poorly exposed, badly lit photo to actually see what is wrong!!!
