Thanks for posting Oly. I dont know how to describe the sound it made, Kinda of a dry bindy sound. It was low on oil and I filled it before starting. I have had the pressure drop when the oil gets low when cornering at low rpm, but this sounded different. I started and ran it into town this weekend and it did great (8 miles one way), except the smoke. I have quit using it everyday in order to save the block for rebuilding. The oil was freshly changed so it wasnt dirty, thin oil. I dissembled the spare 235 this weekend and will try to find a machinist to get it going again. Thanks again.
Ralph
