I have just recently obtain a noise in the engine, it sounds like a piston slapping something. I am asking you guru's what this could be?
I think it may be a valve, or maybe a pushrod, but the confusing part of this is, sometimes I get a squeal and the engine will die, so it makes me wonder if it isn't something more major, like a cam bearing or a broken crank.. By the way I should add all cylinder have good pressure when checked, and the engine idles smooth. It's just that damn clank/clicking/banging, that I can't stand.
So here is the question, what other symptoms would I have from a brolen crank/bnt pushrod, broken valve spring, of cam bearing????
Thanks
