Hola Bricksters:
Just a philosophical question. I have a 1993 245 (nonturbo). Last week after sitting for a week while I redid the suspension bushings,upon startup there was a loud clacking sound from the engine. I thought it was a worn connecting rod bearing,but after a while (warmup?) the noise almost went away. I figure it must be a valve tappet that is not getting oil until the engine warms up. Does this mean that a head job is in my immediate future? Should I drive it until something breaks and the engine stops cold, or should I jump in and do a head job right away?
Thanks for all your help.
Genaro.
