Man I'm excited. Dailydriver posted his car for sale and I could tell from that add that it was much loved and well taken care of. Unfortunately a nasty knock on the engine forced him to sell it. I thought this could be the perfect car for my dad.
This car looks amazing for having 172k miles. It is pretty rare to find a 1 owner car these days. So, first things first. I had the car for all of 30 seconds before I broke it. I dragged the exhaust pulling into my driveway and separated the car back from the y pipe. So today I fixed that so the exhaust wasn't dragging on the ground anymore. Next, I need to make room for all the parts Dave packed into the car. It's completely full of parts. Thanks Dave! And finally, I need to figure out what's up with the engine. It has a nasty knock. It has great oil pressure, runs smooth, no smoke, but knocks really bad. I think it's a lifter, but I don't know. I think I'm going to pull the valve covers and see what I find. As well as this car has been taken care of, I'm hoping the engine is healty. I'd love to just replace some lifters and let my dad enjoy this car for a while. Anyway, let me know what you guys would do to diagnose this knock. https://youtu.be/AJUsOvgpnmg https://youtu.be/otobYePJLyo |

Thanks Jim. I don't want to take a chance on another used block. The 2 guys block interests me because I'd spend nearly that much on just cam, lifters, oil pump, timing chain and front cover gaskets. But he hasn't responded yet.
I think I'm back to leaving the bottom end alone, new cam lifters and springs and put it back together. New oil pump also, but that's it. Ok oil pan baffles, but seriously, that's it! |
