I do have a stethoscope and that is Fridays plan alond with a compression check and wrenching the Crank to see how much play is in the Timing Chain. I was thinking about loose Flex Plate bolts.. there is a trani service sticker in the engine compartment. I assumed the P.O. had a flushing done but maybe he had the Trani out. The thing is, when it was wrapping hard, it felt like I was getting popping through the intake manifold. I heard that these engines have an issue with a clogged oil passage to the Timing Chain. The Head looked too clean to have Passage clogs and I don't think it would sound as it did from Chain slap. Just popped the hood for a peek again last night... ahhhh, I really really REALLY don't want to disassemble this mess to get the Head off. I had the Head off my sons '70 Plymouth (slant 6)... 40 minutes it was on the workbench. -- '75 Jeep CJ5 345Hp ChevyPwrd, two motorcycles, '85 Pickup: The '89 Volvo is the newest vehicle I own. it wasn't Volvos safety , it was Longevity that sold me http://home.no.net/ebrox/Tony's%20cars.htm Mark this post as an answer to my question<- Use this feature to mark quality replies to your post.
