Current on BAT, decided to ask here rather than there since I don't want to interfere with the auction as I'm not a potential buyer.

Sounds like someone poured a fistful of coins down the oil filler neck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Sounds like someone poured a fistful of coins down the oil filler neck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Doesn't that describe pretty much any Type 4? I love 'em, but they don't sound sexy. I think I recently described it as sounding like a box of buffalo farts. That engine does sound a lot like the bus I had with hydraulic lifters after it sat for awhile. It's been so long since I've heard an actual running Type 4, that I don't pretend to diagnose by sound though. |
