Gotta admit - it WAS fun!! Those marks - a bucket of driveway sealer - but nahhhh, it's a 'mark' of never growing up

Strange noises - going to do one more preload check on the lifters and if there is no joy, will be doing a full engine tear down though will do a converter check per Jerry' suggestion tho I did a quick look over the winter. I was going to NSRA York, but would rather spend my time and $$ fixing the car plus the weather is forecast for rain, possibly clearing for the PM, but more rain on Sunday. Not a fun 350 mile ride

rain yep we have some of that . had to turn the heat back on in the house and my shop less then a week ago i was looking for the house fan i use in the front room. it was so hot .now i am looking for snow ? before you get to far in the engine unhook the pcv valve off then plug line just to test. if you have one. take it out of the system .i was fooled by one time made noise like a bad front pump bearing or bad stall
