well i just got this 1984 bronco ii 2.8 eddie bauer 4wd and im tryin to make it a lil more reliable...
when i turn it on i get the usual blue smoke from the exhaust and i got a leaking valve cover
well long story short i replaced the valve cover gasket and while i was there i replaced plugs, wires, cap, and rotor still got the smoke and im hearing a lifter noise
from what i read up in search its probably a clogged head or the rocker arm shaft is clogged while looking in the records the previous owner left me he was using cheap 5 w 30 oil in this the entire time he owned it (im the second owner...106k miles)
how would i go about cleaning them?
any other advise to freshen up the engine?
also i have a SMALL(2 out of 10) leak from the front seal do i even bother to fix it?
