Just don't forget to hook up all the pollution controls on that new old Jeep! Earle "L.W. (Bill) Hughes III" <billhughes (AT) cox (DOT) net> wrote in message news:4601d9d7$0$16264$88260bb3 (AT) free (DOT) teranews.com... LOL Really, all our gases are heavier than our atmosphere, it's physically impossible for it to mix with it's Ozone, like the bleeding heart liberal whacko greenie Bore would like us to believe! That's why we put the gas hot water heater on a two foot platform off the floor, to separate any leaking gas from the pilot light. Why doesn't someone ask that idiot why Mar's polar caps are melting, too???????! Remember why the Vikings gave Greenland it's name? And the ascendant maps showing land in Antarctica before we figured that there was any under that ice. It's no where near as warm, just one thousand years ago, and the didn't have industrial smoke stacks nor cars! God Bless America, Bill 0|||||||0 mailto:LWHughes3rd (AT) aol (DOT) com http://www.billhughes.com/ "Earle Horton" <apodo (AT) gracioso (DOT) usa> wrote in message news:wpWdnSWLmLQdRpzbnZ2dnUVZ_smonZ2d (AT) comcast (DOT) com... That's what I'm talking about. We don't need no smog check where I live, because we have clean mountain air. (I think the pollution runs down hill, most of it.) We don't need no EPA license to work on AC, as long as we get paid in beer and not money. And we don't need no arm patch, because we don't have no inferiority complex to worry about.

Not much, he's getting a hydrocarbon reading in my radiator/coolant. Mechanic says it's probably not the head gasket, but rather, a cracked head. That's gonna hurt. I think I would do a long term pressure test of cooling sytem (a hour or two) to see if there is a internal leak in it. ----------------- TheSnoMan.com |

Good Idea SnoMan. I'll give it a try. |
Do it with air not coolant because it can leak out easier. (though it
can take more time to see it hence the longer time period of the test)

A backfire right out of the blue that stalls a 350 V8 engine is almost always spark related. |
I would not say that at all because usually it is fuel related if it
is through the intake (engine leaning out)

stop that is 'caused' by a slight trace of hydrocarbons in the rad
coolant most likely from a cracked head!!!!
I would highly recommend as I have said that he check for loose wires at
the distributor or coil.
He just had some friends all over his firewall area trying to bolt in
his heater core. That top center bolt for the heater is really close to
things....
He also just had himself and/or friends all under his dash pulling the
heater core in and out with the dash in place....
I 'really really' would be looking at wiring, not a blown engine. If
you backfire bad enough to crack a head well... I don't see how it can
be the cracked head causing the backfire.

Then you normally talk a series of backfires or 'pops', not one bang and stop that is 'caused' by a slight trace of hydrocarbons in the rad coolant most likely from a cracked head!!!! |
Not always because depending on the reason for the lean out when the
engine missfired and back fires it looses power and required fuel flow
so demand for it decreases and it may run alright for a bit afterwards
when it recovers. Also something this backfire can occur when there is
a throttle change and enrichment lags enough to cause the "pop" from
lean out. This iis not to say it could not be ignition but more often
than not when it spits through intake it is from leanout under load or
engine acceleration.

cracked head"????????????
We are talking a bang that stopped the engine cold at speed twice in a
row to the point of a tow...
