I was headed to the folks house for Thanksgiving. Stopped to get some gas(200 miles in) and when I stared it up it sounded like something was stuck in the fan or air passagess bouncing around. I shut it down, checked the oil and the pressure was pressure was ok. So I drove it the rest of the way home(about 50 miles).
The noise only came back when I was at idle up to around 1500 rmp. Above that everything was fine. Would the car still run with a dropped valve seat? How can I check if I dropped one? And is their anyway to check the air passages with out dropping the engine? Thanks guys, I've got my fingers crossed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Samson |
