Any clutch people in here?

 

***UPDATE***

Got the doors working. Took a lot of PB B'laster and some panel poppin'...

Gonna try cleaning theplastic from the valvetrain (leaky into the air boxey)...

Got some seafoam today. Gonna use it tomorrow right after I install my ne w shocks and then change the oil.

Got the Ranchos on, haven't used the seafoam yet, and I'm about to go clean the plastic thingy on the valve cover.

That little plastic elbow doesn't want to come out. Is there an exact position it needs to sit so that it comes out without breaking it?

 

I broke mine into about 10 pieces when I took it out. Maybe someone else can offer you some better advice, but it's only like a $5 part

Okey doke, I'll go pick a couple up. They are called "baffles," right?

 

You're talking about the plastic elbow at the front of the valve cover that connects the hose to the air box, right? They sell it as a PCV elbow, even though it doesn't have a PCV valve

Can someone give me advice on my clutch problems? I have to drive great distances to get to school, like for hundred and fifty miles... A clutch going out is not fun on a long drive.

 

Clutch: try lubing the pivots and if that does not fix it, crawl under it with motor OFF, and have someone push clutch while you listen for noise.

Valve noise could be oil pressure issue. Low at startup and after oil is hot. If not, you may have a lifter that is struggling.

If you ha ve problems with the ruber gromets on the valve cover, you may wantb to cut the tube and repair with a piece of tubing.

 

I figured it was a certain lifter when my grandpa pulled out the stethoscope and said that it was a localized noise. What can you do for the valvetrain besides replacing the head?
