[Healeys] BJ7 popping noise

[Charlie Schott]

Gavin,

If you have an exhaust valve that’s not opening completely, then you get exhaust through the intake valve when it opens. Check your valve adjustment.

Regards,

Charlie Schott

Hi Gavin,

Have not encountered that problem with a Healey 6 but have several times with MGB's.

It usually turned out to be a broken valve spring or sticking valve...

  When I accelerate briskly the engine starts popping like small fireworks @ about 3500 to 4k RPM. This happened many years ago but I can’t recall the resolution. Anybody have a guess? It’s like a miss with fireworks to go along with the miss. Your brainstorming is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
