So i did a valve adjustment and did the gasket and rocker plugs all at the same time....
Ive been driving the car a couple days and have been noticing some strange things.
1) the engine "ticks" pretty loud under light thottle. It ticked before i did tthe vlave adjustment, but i just want to make sure this is normal for m20's. It not overly loud but the engine does tick tick tick tick tick pretty good.
2) The idle is slightly ackward. When the car is cold, the idle is around 400 and is extremly ruff, but once the car reaches normal temp, the idle stabilizes around 800-900rpms. Whats extremly wierd that i didnt have before is that the idle slightly oscillated now between 800-850, but just ever so slightly. My question being...am i just being picky? or do i have a vaccum leak again?
3) lastly when i have the hood up and im playing with the throttle and hold it at a good 1500-2000 rpms the engine sounds like it is slightly misfireing or the timings off. But its also very slgiht. Again, am i being picky?
I have now almost 140k the car. I recently replaced the centering bearing, guibo, pilot bearing, release bearing, pressure plate, clutch, all tranny seals, flushed tranny, tightened linkage, replaced oil pan gasket, and rear engine seal. Could any of this have caused a problem?
Thanks in advance for any insight
