i did the valve lash adjustment on sunday and ever since then, the car was running quiet and perfect. but today when i was driving home. i feel the power lose.it was like driving on a flat tire kind of feeling. i got it home.and let it set for a while and took it out for test drive again. same situation. valve ticking. and cranking. what could this be.
the car idels fine. no CEL. thanks

 

no one ?

 

Did you tighten the lock-nuts good when you did the valve-lash? Is the timing correct? And lastly did you wait till the engine was cold (8 hrs i think) and use a feeler gauge?
