So, I took it to the Midwest all truck national and let some guys listen to it. Everyone had a different opinion of it. It sounded like a rod to me. Well, I took it to the machine shop that built the motor and they pulled the pan, and much to mine and their delight. The noise was the rod bolt rubbing on the baffle in the pan. So, this could happen to you. It sounded terrible but became less noticeable as it rubbed the baffle down.
So to everyone that put an ear to my engine Thanks!!

It was a bent crank pulley that was rubbing the timing tab and he saw it immediately. Unfortunately the former owner just knew it was a shot motor. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 | had a fly wheel cover bolt to get lose once between the flywheel cover......boy talk about a racket at times...
