Went to the mids meet yesterday and on the way there the top rad hose must have developed a leak. Engine had not overheated and seemed to be running absolutly fine. Topped up the water and drove the hour home stopping onve to check the water levels and had to add a very small ammount. Got home replaced the problem pipe and took for a test dive to test for leaks. None..................great.

 

Took the car out for a spin last night and after a few minutes there was a bang (like fuel ingniting in the exhaust and then the engine went lumpy, as not firing on all cylinders.

 

Any ideas?

maybe a hose blew off/up somewhere (hear anything hissing ?)

the top rad hose was split but this was replaced by one of smithys nice hard ones. should be no more water leaks but now got this engine running rough problem.

Tim, good chance it is a connection problem on the ptu under the top hose.
