farmall a engine sound

washingtonMark · Mar 28, 2010

The engine on my farmall A when running will give a pop sound out of the exhaust once in a while. Is this normal for the exhaust muffler to do this? Otherwise it is running good. Thanks.

Ithink you may hsve an exaust valve sticking.did it sit for a long time?

Could be a sticky valve s Delt Red suggested. If it's doing it pretty consistently, you have have your timing too far retarded. Same effect.

I know that it sat for about a year. I don't think it is a valve because I just set the gap on them after I re-torqued the head bolts. Could be timing I guess. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to the popping. Anyone know the setting for the timing? Thanks.

I won't say that it is normal, but it is not unusual, and is nothing to be overly concerned about. If it runs good otherwise, run it.

Mark, setting the valve clearance (lash) won't help if you have one that's sticky but most of the voodoo engine oil additives will claim to help. The valves get sticky when burned oil or fuel residue builds up in the valve guide or on the valve stem.
