Unless say there is a restriction on the one side and not one on the side heating up normally. This could also be the issue addressed above where the valves are adjusted wrong on the one side of the motor. How did you adjust them? I like to see 3/4 to 7/8 of a turn pre-load. Make sure you are running the correct spark plugs as well. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>mtbaughs</b> <br /><small>Member # 4052</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,3,28,15,43,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Also I'd hook a computer up and watch how the O2's are switching.
