Thanks. Had some bad news. Had a low thump noise coming from the low part of the motor. I've been monitoring the "engine" thread on the stovebolt web site and made the decision to drain the oil and drop the pan before I ruin the motor. My surprise to find the crankshaft scored and the bearings scored equally. Metal shavings in the oil pan also. Pictures are here: http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2388959750080243953GXqkUO
It needs a new crank job with new bearings. I figure it was during the time the motor was rebuilt but not installed, that it dried out and then we tried to start it which might have contributed to the problem. Anyway, I'm going to pull the motor again and get it fixed. the truck looks great but I want to drive it. It's always something...
