brake shoes and fuel tank valve for 600
can t speak to the brake issue but that gas valve has been about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. I bought a new one from tractor supply and it leaked right out of the box. I returned it. I bought one from this site and color me surprised, it leaked. I thought about returning it but... -

Ford 600 runs rough and clicks
Solved! So I already gave an update on the exhaust leak which was the clicking sound. Today I got into the valves. I found several valves that were way out of spec. Some of them measured a tight .008 clearance. I got all the valve set at .017 while cold. Before I fired her up I decided I... -

Ford 600 runs rough and clicks
It just dawned on me I Forgot to open up up the carb before the test. Intake was a little restricted for the test. I would probably see a little higher numbers if I ran it again but none the less they were all really close to each other. -

Ford 600 runs rough and clicks
Ok update. The 2 problems of the miss and the clicking sound are not connected. I took off the manifold and a few of the bolts were only finger tight at the front where the sound was coming from. I sandblasted the manifold and painted (because why not) I then put it back on with new gaskets... -

Ford 600 runs rough and clicks
So I was able to get out some off my finer instruments this afternoon to do a little more diagnostics. I put my Stanley Flathead stethoscope on the motor in several places and honestly she is smooth and quite everywhere. The valve train is noisy but but it s always clickety-clacken away and I... -

Ford 600 runs rough and clicks
I did consider that but the fan is not the culprit. I don't know much about the governor and really wouldn't know how to verify that but the noise and hesitation seem to follow the RPM of the motor. the accelerator seems to work just fine and the motor responds but the hesitation also responds... -

I will do just that. I'm curious if there is a good tutorial out there on inspecting and adjusting the valve train on these motors. thanks for the reply. -

Ford 600 runs rough and clicks
dang I hope its not a crank. I will say the sound is nowhere near as low as the crank. The sound seems to be much closer to the head. I intend to get into the head when I have some time but I just don't know what to expect. I did a top end rebuild on a 79 ford 460 and I must have done the valves... -

Ford 600 runs rough and clicks
So as of this afternoon my 640 ran like silk then I was giving the kids a ride down the street 1/2 to 3/4 throttle and all the sudden it developed a sputter and a click. It will still fire up easy as ever and will throttle up but now it vibrates a little more than normal runs a little rough...
