	04-11-2016 04:24 PM #1Thunking Noise after Turning the Car off
 
 Disclosure: I am new to car mechanics so please be patient with me.
 
 What I have:
 I have a 1965 Impala and just rebuilt a '74 350 for it(cast-iron), please spare the criticism for not sticking with the 283. The new 350 also has vortec heads and I also installed a flex fan.
 
 The Issue:
 About a third of the time when I turn the car off I hear this thunking noise that really sounds like the flex fan is hitting something because it slows down like, "thunk..thunk....thunk........thunk" but the engine definitely stops right when i turn the ignition off so it is not a run on or anything. I have also verified that the fan is for sure not hitting anything even though that is how I described the sound I am pretty sure that is not it. I did find this forum, Pressure in motor - knocks when I shut it off
 that mentions a possible pressure release happening but no resolution was posted. Overall the engine runs great, a little bit of an oil burner but nothing to complain about. Any help is appreciated.
