I finally got my most recent purchase up on the "big jackstand" and checked out the structural bits. There is some damage. Like it ran over a median or 10 ton bouder, but I can fix that.
The damage to the underside included tweaking the engine tins (both horizontal and vertical) about an inch up and an inch left on the driver's side. So the engine may have / must have taken a hit too. My biggest concern is the "clacking" sound the engine makes. I started it up just fine. It idled fine for the 20 seconds I was willing to let it run with all that racket going on. Then I shut it off and started running through the possibilities. Needless to say, most of them are not good. Gerbil with a jackhammer was the first one to come to mind. Just kidding. My question is, where should I start to try to find the source of this sound? Thanks, Dawn |
