Suction Pressure On Oil Filler Cap

[Komeuppance]

I got all 4 of the jet valves out of the head now and I was going to just tig weld the ends of the jet valve itself. I really hate to pull the head in this cold weather, If I can make it to summer I think I will pull the motor and tranny because I need to really clean up under the hood real good. I have read over just about all of your post and they are very informative.

Welding them up should work just fine. Just remember to remove the adjusters out of the rocker arm, haha.

Well I am going to tig weld them up today and see how they come out, Thanks for the info, I was going to cut the adjusters ears off but no one can see them after the valve cover is put back on so I am going to do what you said and just unscrew the adjusters. Thanks Again!!!

It might be hoping for too much, but I hope this all means you'll be driving that truck by Sunday!

I hope that the end off of that one jet valve is not laying down in that cylinder, I took my pin magnet and ran it down that cylinder and found nothing.

An ounce of prevention, perhaps you could get that cylinder TDC and try to get a vacuum cleaner attachment to fit up to the spark plug hole (or even better, in it) and suck out any Jimmy Hoffa leftovers in there. I supposed blowing it out with compressed ait would work, too. So...suck or blow, your choice!

I'm curious how you did that, but my guess is you pulled them through the cylinder with some needle-nose pliers. Do tell us your secrets!

I don't mean to be telling you things you already know: just pointing out in case it got over-looked. You're 2 years older than me and have just that much more experience, so please know I speak with utmost respect.

I suspect you'll want to weld those ports from the cyclinder-side eventually, to prevent weld-boogars from getting hot and causing dieseling.

The whole jet valve assembly unscrews out from the top of the cylinder head, they're just like long bolts (which is what the elimination kit is).

I forgot what a 4g64 head has, but on the g54b heads the jet valve port has a shroud in the combustion chamber that is normally left in there.

The 4g64 has literally a "belly button" scar where the jet port would be. Just an indentation.

I was looking at my spare 2.0 head this morning and noticed the bolts for the jet ports. What a pain in th' patooker.

Allrighty Now, First off I would like to thank eveyone for sharing their knowledge with me and it really help. This is what I done. I unscrewed all four of the jet valve out of the head and tig welded both ends and the small inlet holes in the middle, sanded the welds down smooth and put new O rings on. I installed the jet valve back into the heads so I could put air pressure on one cylinder at a time and installed new exhaust and intake valve seals. I am about 99.9% sure this has fix my smoking like a BIG DUBBIE in a smoke shop!!! It got dark on me and I did not have alot of time to see if all the smoke cleared up. I am going to drive it some tomorrow and I will know if all this work fix it or not!!! Thank's again to EVERYONE, If I can help anyone just ask.

Hope it all turns out great.
