  1. I did the water hose trick and found a intake manifold leak so i finally found a set of gaskets for it and got it back together and still tick so i went back to water hose and sprayed on heads and found the head gasket leaking also guess i should have looked closer the first time . now just have to take off head and go to the mack dealer to match gasket because i cannot find the 11GB #on the engine anywhere all #s i come up with are not the ones to help. should i go ahead and do both heads or not worry with the front head at this time? would it be possible to pull both heads with intake and exhaust manifolds still on it? i do have a over head chain fall to assist.
  2. Thanks for all the help,I did the water hose bit and a intake manifold gasket seems to be the problem Ihave not fixed it yet and hope that is all. thanks again
  3. i did look at heads and i noticed small oil leak that just started i will definitly try the water trick. thanks to all and i hope to get this problem fixed shortly
  4. I've got a 74 mack 237 actually i think the motor is about a 80 s model . it has very loud tick sounds like in the head. it is not a knock just very loud tick. the valves have been adjusted. runs fine, just ticks could it be a burnt exhaust valve. and would it be cheaper to do valve job or find replacement head should i do both heads at same time ?
