What's the noise 120-130

posted by  someone claiming to be Jim Hampton on  Tue Oct 29 17:32 CST 2002 [RELATED]

The kid's '65 122 just started making a noise. (Maybe it has been a while, but I'm deaf in one ear and can't hear with the other). It sounds like the clatter from a diesel engine. I was hoping the noise was just valves needing adjustment, (I said hoping, not thinking). They're set o.k. The noise is most pronounced and sharper at the timing gear cover. I had the kid listen, too, and he came to the same conclusion. The noise was less severe at her block at all areas. We used a stethoscope to listen to the noise. The noise continues with the drive belt off.

Any suggestions? When I've had the timing gear fall apart, it was abrupt and violent. The car still runs, but is pretty noisy. Thursday, the cover comes off if I can't come up with something else to examine first. I have my own suspicions, but I hope I'm wrong. I don't need another major project right now.
