Hi all,

My amazon still has it's 1969 B20B in it, waiting for the B20E currently being rebuilt. As progress is slower than expected on the latter, looks like the "B" is going to serve a little longer than expected.

What worries me is that i have a few longer trips scheduled for this spring and since about 10kmiles, the engine has been producing a noise that sounds like a shot piston axle to me (same as a misadjusted valve but they're all as smoothly set as they can be...)

In the event it actually is a piston axle, is it sensible to think that the engine can last another 4'000 miles or so or should I just quit my job to have the "E" in ASAP?

Youre experiences in piston axle fault diagnosis and life expectancy?

Thanks in advance, Séb
