Vacuum leak?
I have a Factory Five roadster with a 5.0 HO equipped with a trick flow topend kit installed two years ago. Experiencing what I think is a vacuum leak thats making a high pitched noise similar to a slipping fan belt thats not the fanbelt but coming from the top of the motor.
Anyone ever experienced such, or has an idea on how to identify leak. It's a leak that I can't readily identify the source. Appreciate any advise. Thanks Jay |
Hi Jay,
How long after startup before the noise occurs? Does the noise disappear if you remove the oil cap, or the dipstick? Can you use a length of hose to identify the source, or spray some water around and note the behaviour/sound of the engine? Gary |

Yes.Check that gasket :)

Thanks to all for the advice.
