Do I hear a knock?



To external for a rod knock. Sounds more like an exhaust leak. And it doesnt make that sound when on throttle.

There is however definitely valvetrain noise, but it hasnt been warmed up in a year so the lifters could need to get pumped up.


I think the engine just needs an Italian tune up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I ended up getting some Liqui-Moly oil flush and giving this italian tune up a try - I went for about 10 minutes on the highway at 4000RPM, red-lined it a few times, brought her back, flushed the oil, and the problem was fixed. No more lifter tick.

I had to look it up. Never heard of one. I thought it may be an age thing. My age not the car

Rislone is my oil additive of choice. I'll give it a try and see what happens.
No rod knock that I could hear. It's loading up on one cylinder like a dirty injector maybe more than one. Floor it and all that goes away. It's a mighty stallion and they get finicky at times. I'll throw some chemicals at it and see how it does.

But first... anyone have some sheet metal to sell?

Oh, the radiator seems fine, just crooked in it's mounting.

I would repaint it the same as it is now.

I LIKE the SCREAMSICLE name. If you repainted it, you couldn't use that name.

It would be a Blood Red Screamsicle...

I like the Cherry red! Obviously prefer the orange, but still.

Maybe a 914 specific Malga red? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-116-1438291892_thumb.jpg)

I have a partial front clip you can have. I sawsalled it from the VIN tag forward. Includes front half of fenders and headlight buckets. A little rust here and there but free if you want it.

Now it makes sense to take the truck down, Save shipping and crating for the Sheridan front end, and get this front clip at the same time.

Winner Winner!

I prefer Gin. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Just give me a heads up when you're on the way. It's sitting on the side of the house ready to go.

Mike, The wheels are turning, but just not on the truck yet. It might be a couple weeks. We have other things that need attention down in Ca.

Gin is certainly doable. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif)

In some of the old posts, the car also looked great when it was all white.

Because of the history of this car, it would be cool to keep the same paint scheme. Changing the orange to any color Dan wants would still work and honor that. So stoked to see this car in good hands.
