bummer! did you pull the valve covers, maybe its just a loose rocker? other than that, probably a rod bearing.


Not yet... a buddy of mine came and rescued me with the trailer. We dropped it at back at the shop and I jumped into the Double Cab and headed to the show. Busy week at work ahead and a Kansas family vacation over the holiday weekend. Probably gonna be a couple of weeks before I spend any time on it.

It's definitely not valves..... sounds like a rattling rod to me.

Well, I had a busy family weekend, so I barely got started on the engine repairs. It's tempting to upgrade, but I'm gonna do a stock repair this time. Check out those original pans.... no repairs needed... even the battery tray area is fine :thumbs:

Must be nice having a lift! When are you going to tear the motor down?

Yes, a lift is nice... and not as expensive as you might think. I got mine used.

I'll start on it tonight after work.

Probably seat belts for the driver.

Hard to believe there are cars still out there that are as nice as that. Awesome car! I really dig your shop.
