Well first off thanks for all the help on my engine, fired it off twice today after some rebleeding and a bit of starting fluid...engine is a Ford Industrial with FL on the block (4 cyl).
Anyways, after about a 10 minute run, I shut it down to check the fluid levels...let it sit for a bit,
Then fired it back up...still had to give it a shot of ether, but kept it running this time for another 12-15 minutes, then all of a sudden I here a "popping" of air...I pulled the intake hose offf and am getting pressure back up through the intake...
My feeling is possible hole in a piston or a valve stuck open inn the guide...no rattling/mechanical noises...so don't think I broke a valve.
What are you're guys opinions on this before I pull the head this weekend?
Thanks.
