Not Ranked
1 more thing I need to mention guys - I am thinking / trying to solve the mystery what failed 1st and caused that damage.
I know that the valve train clearances where not perfect ( rockers almost touching the valve retainers etc.. and the gaskets where wrong (nothing to do with the failure) - but I never mentioned that the 2nd day of having the car - I tried to start the engine but I was not successful - only after 1hr of trying with fuel pump on - off etc etc.
So here is the story:
After 2-3 times of the ignition button the battery start dying...That was weird...It died super fast.
If you have seen my first video I am describing that it was very difficult to start the engine once - and a big black / wet spot was on my fence that day.
Do you think that the electric fuel pressure caused the carburetor & cylinder(s) to take more fuel and when I tried to start the engine and caused that damage on the valve train?
I am not saying that it is supposed to happen but maybe I left the fuel pump too long? 30sec - 1min? Is that a possible scenario?
Best - Andronikos,
