So ... I went to Ohio yesterday for a fresh tune by Dr. Dave. Drove the AOD car all the way there. Backed it onto the rollers and got all set up for the job.
First pull, something was not right. I told Dave when I got there that the car didn't 'feel right' but couldn't put my finger on what it was.
Turns out, after much troubleshooting, new plugs, skinned knuckles, foul language etc. that I had a broken valve spring. The outer spring was broken but the inner spring was still trying so it kept the valve out of trouble ie, falling in.
Dave managed to change the spring in the car (whew), also the source of much cussing, and I was able to drive the car home. Go figure it ran great on the way home.
So ... long story short, the car is sick and I can't beat on it until I have the heads down to Dave for new springs etc.
Good thing I have 2 SC's now.
