Went to start the parts truck last week because someone wanted to buy it. It would not start, no fuel to the injectors. Pulled the HH and found the coil spring and retainer in the bottom.
I replaced the retainer and spring and put the HH back on. Upon startup it went to about 5,00 RPM and no amount of pulling on the shutoff would stop it.
It was blowig so much fuel from the HH that you could not tell where it was coming from. It blew the oil filler cap about 15 feet in the air.
At that point it was time to just get out of the way because it was going to get ugly. I had the left front fender off to make it easier to work on. My buddy and I were standing at the drivers side rear when a stream of oil came out of the left side of the engine for about 30 yards, followed by a 6 inch piece of the camshaft and other assorted parts.
Once the engine shut down my buddy went to the passenger side and I went to the drivers side, We could look at each other through the block at what once was the number 5 cylinder. After all this when I hit thr starter it ran!
