| Internal Engine Issue |
Subject: Internal Engine Issue by TommyT-Bone on 2008/3/26 10:20:16 Back in December I had the flow down problem from a defective injector on the #6 cylinder that caused the engine to lock. The mechanic got it to break free. We replaced 4 injectors, wires, plugs cap and rotor. I've only put about 500 miles on the engine since I got it back from the shop. Under load the engine works fine but at idle the engine slows like it's misfiring and you can see the voltmeter dip from 3/4 position to 1/2, 3/4 to 1/2 like it must be binding a little on the 6th cylinder wall. The fuel at the time of the injector failure washed all the lubricants off the cylinder wall and the ring. The engine is a 383 with about 8000 miles on the engine. Should I just run it and hope it loosens up, drive it till she dies or do the engine gurus have any words of wisdom for a brother in need. |
