'72 164E diagnostic help 140-160

posted by  someone claiming to be blackjackmac on  Sat Mar 3 04:40 CST 2018 [RELATED]

Cold water from radiator goes directly to no1 cylinder which could have a bearing on your temp readings. I have found front cam bearing can wear to the extent that pressure from the helical gears will force camshaft up and close tappet clearances at revs above idle. If you do have No1 missing above idle with lead pulled try opening tappet clearance on that cyl. Just a few options to try. It may be something unrelated.
