just finished putting my new lifters in, and after i got done, i fired the car and the idle jumped to around 2k, and i can hear a huge whooshing sound from around the #1cyl area. Now i really think this is a vaccume leak, and i put a hose to my ear to try and locate it, and sprayed carb cleaner into all the mating surfaces...nothing.i cant get it to run right, it idles low, but real choppy, like it has a HUGE cam, shich it dosent with that whooshing sound, but what gets me, is how come it dosent stay at a high idle? just when i frist fire it up? Please help, because i was going to get a tune tommorow, and now i probably cant
