right now i am dead in the water. was running the car in my garage, revved it up to see when the secondaries were kicking in and bam the motor sounded like a bunch of rocks in a garbage disposal. thought maybe a push rod bent ,checked out the valve train and on first look every thing seems o.k. after sitting a couple of days i cranked it over again no obvious noises so i fired it up ran nice and quiet for 15 seconds or so then the noise started again sounded like a huge hole in the exhaust ( thought maybe i was lucky and my header had cracked) but it is clearly coming from inside the block. i have never seen or heard a bad rod but i think that might be the case, maybe a broken rod bolt or bent rod ? not sure but right now i feel like it has SOME MAJOR PROBLEM
