Hello newsgroup,
I have a 91 5.0 LX, Auto Trans, 105k miles, all stock except for a Densocharger CAI. I have two questions concerning my car.
When accelerating, I hear what I think is valve clatter. It just recently started (or I'm noticing it for the first time.) Aren't the valves in this motor self adjusting? Is there anything I can do from the maintenance side to take care of this? Any info/suggestions are appreciated.
Secondly, when accelerating I hear a intake noise that sounds like air being sucked into the engine from the passengers side of the car, kind of like a air leak in reverse. This is my second 5.0, and I don't remember my other car sounding like this. Any idea what causes this? I checked the exhaust manifold, air intake plumbing, etc., for cracks, holes, etc. couldn't find anything. Any info/suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks...
