So I took it back home pulled the valve covers all was fine. Oil started gushing out of the back everytime I turned it off and the oil was full of metal. Pulled the dipstick all was clean- drained the oil it looked good. So I pulled the engine: Apparently I did not put the rear cam plug in far enough and the oil pressure poped it out and the plug banging around between the block plate and flywheel was the noise. I should be back in business by mid week. I also puleed the pan for fun all is very nice every cam lobe is just developing its shinny side. |
I am glad that is "all" that it was. I got a little sick reading the first couple of lines of this post.
Good luck!
