Engine/Exhaust Spit
« on: August 12, 2024, 07:44:40 PM »
'58 3B.  I have a "spit" heard in the exhaust when idling.  Doesn't cause any issue, I just don't like it.  A little research suggests maybe a vacuum leak or carb gasket or exhaust leak. 

Any idea how I diagnosis this?  Thanks!

I'm not real experienced at this but wonder how long has it been since you adjusted the valves?

Timewise, several years.  Mileage wise, 600 miles maybe.  They weren't off by much at all last time.  I should probably do that again, and timing. 

Noticed when listening a bit closer that I do have the spit at higher rpm's.  Not a miss.  But a spit.
