She's been running fine, and I even drove her this morning. When i got home i parked in the driveway and came in for a few hours. I went back out to check out something on the carb, i pulled off the aircleaner, and started it, and there's a terrible interior sounding, hollow sounding, metal on metal sounding tapping, clanking sound. It's not rythmic (quite the contrary), and I really think it's in the oil pan. I put a hand on the pan and had my dad turn the key, and it could have been my imagination or reverberation, but i think i felt the rattle in there. Is this for sure a thrown rod? What am i looking at to fix it (cost, experience level, time... the works)?
This is really gonna ruin my day. I called up my uncle, the family wrench, and he listened to it breifly through the phone, and told us that it is a thrown rod or else the harmonic balancer could have come loose again, but it sounds hollow not solid, so i'm eliminating that balancer. He's coming by iehter later today or tomorrow...
Man this blows... I want to know...
thanks ahead of time... even if you're bearing bad news...
