Message: [QUOTE="lincolnlocker, post: 1538995, member: 944"] i was hauling my 5er across the UP and it started doing that same thing as the op a long while back... i reached out to a couple people and they all said cracked nozzle too.. mind you this was after like 7 bent pushrods and not a single symptom acted identically to each one prior.. noise wasn't from intake at all and it was very very fant out the exhaust and it was noticeable standing in front of motor. So being that i had lots of practice getting tge valve covers off, i pulled into a gas station that had a dirt lot off to the side and obviously had spare pushrods at this time, like 9 more from a set of used ones i picked up lol, and tore into it.. #2 at the front of the motor had a bent exhaust pr but being it wa that far forward it was muffled out the exhaust and could here it knocking.. it was bent enough that it ate through the head gasket and was rubbing on the iron itself. I dont know how it was even possible it stayed running without locking up.. But with hydraulic lifters, they fill up with oil enough to keep some pressure on the valve a litte bit. live life full throttle [/QUOTE]
