good luck and knock a little dust off the tires to be sure it's all good ! ( that one's for Mr Mike on Williams Pkwy. Dunno who would think of doing that on a nice sunny day in Bramladesh ). Good luck Mr Riddler with your repairs !!

When you said "that's how accidents happen" it reminded me of this warning video...

I have to tuck my beard into my shirt just for that reason.

Even though you didn't ask for it, this "old guy" took it as a challenge. Here's a bluetooth option for older radios. It goes in line with the antenna and FM transmits on a desired frequency.

Too fancy, too new. Can we split the difference between that and this?

This might sound kind of dumb Donovan, but even if the noise is still there, you can be very proud of how clean and neat the engine bay is. That's very impressive.

Well, is the noise gone? On pins and needles ovah heah!

Well, I don’t know quite how to break it to you guys or why, but the original noise is gone. Good, but unfortunately it’s been replaced with a much worse sounding one from deeper within the engine. This one sounds much more serious, like a bottom end rod or bearing.

There’s something seriously wrong deep within the motor. Possibly oil pump? Who knows.

I’ve got one last thing I can try once I feel motivated to even look at it again, but it’s a long shot and not likely to bear any fruit. If it doesn’t pan out, then the engine will have to be pulled and torn down. Not exactly what I wanted a month before spring.

To say I feel defeated is an understatement. It may just sit in the corner for a month before I even feel like looking at it again. So pissed right now.
