Years ago I had something similar happen with our 122, with about 1000 miles on a fresh motor rebuild. As I pulled up to a stop light, a horrible growling/grinding sound suddenly started, accompanied by lots of vibration.

As soon as the light changed, I pulled off the road and stopped the motor. I looked around under the hood for a good while and could see nothing wrong. The motor started normally and the noise and vibration were gone.

I put another 80,000 miles on that motor with no repeat of the problem, and as far as I know it's now still doing fine powering Shayne's mom's 140.

I never did figure it out. The best guess I have is that something hard lodged between the oil pan and crossmember, and fell out when I stopped the motor.

May you be similarly lucky...
