Thread: Odd Vibration

    I agree with Jeff. I can't think of anything, engine-wise, to cause an across-the-board drop like that.

    odd vibration

    Well I am going to my brothers today I will drive the falcon and run a quick check on one of the cylinders with his gauge. In the mean time I have been looking at a 250 engine to put in it. I think its a straight across swap.

    odd vibration

    well I have been working on the falcon and I think I found the smoking gun. The head gasket was bad between # 4 & #3. I also found out my engine is a 1966 200 . Now the new problem. It has two bent push rods and I cant find any in the auto parts stores. I am looking for a couple fresh ones new or used if anyone has any suggestions It would sure help

    I'm sure any auto machine shop can order you the right ones, but make sure they have a sample to see before ordering. By '66 I think all 200's were non-adjustable rockers with pushrods being a specific length. Measuring a non-bent one may be critical.

    Good luck and thankfully you found the main issue.

    OH well darn. The head gasket was bad and the push-rod was bent . Now it is all back together and running better than ever. One thing though it still has the vibration. I am going to drive and just enjoy the car for now . I am sort of out of ideas and money
