Subject: More Info - The engine has about 180K miles on it, Author: ddunc633 : member since June, 2004 : 4 posts Posted on: 2004-06-08 13:39:04

Steve Haygood listened to it a few months ago and thought the "clacking" sounds was a bad valve or two. The engine burns NO oil. The cam has no serious scores visible. Seems like several valves could be bad, and possibly some rocker arms. Not sure about the rocker shafts.

I need to remove and replace the head at TDC.

Also, plan to redo the chain and tensioners, possibly oil pump, too.
