RE: [old-chevy-truck] Truck Noise
How soon after the rebuild did the noise start? Is it getting worse? Bill in Oregon _ From: old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com [mailto:old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Ken Cluley Sent: Sunday, September 22, 2013 11:25 AM To: old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com Subject: [old-chevy-truck] Truck Noise Hi All I think I posted something on this a few months ago. I continue to have a noise that I believe is coming from the lower part of my engine - maybe in the oil pan area. The noise is a rattle or bang that is pretty noisy when I first start the engine but decreases as I rev the engine but then returns at idle. I have a 1954 full pressure 235. The oil pressure remains normal even when driving the truck and the temp is ok. Can an oil pump make this sort of noise? The engine was completely rebuilt about 2000 miles ago by a top notch mechanic. I've added a link to a youtube video so that everyone can listen to the noise. You'll hear a slight pinging but it's the banging noise that has me concerned. Here's the link: http://youtu.be/irrv-cUrsV4 http://youtu.be/irrv-cUrsV4 Thanks for everyone's help.

Re: [old-chevy-truck] Truck Noise
Bill, I don't drive the truck much so it was probably a year after the build that the noise began. I can't tell if its getting worse but have noticed that it improves as the truck runs or the engine it revved.

RE: [old-chevy-truck] Truck Noise
Sounds related to oil pressure. You may want to be sure you have adequate oil pressure. The next cheapest thing to check is the valve adjustments. If that's not it, pull the oil pan and check the bearings.

RE: [old-chevy-truck] Truck Noise
Before you start pulling the pan try this for additional information: Get the engine to its noisiest operation. Leave it running. Remove #1 spark plug wire. Did the noise get better, worse or stay the same? Put number 1 spark plug wire back on. Now do the same with each of the other plug wires, one at a time. If the problem is in the bottom of the engine (crank/rod/piston) you should be able to tell which cylinder is causing grief when you have that cylinder's plug wire off. Use well insulated pliers (FLAPS has special plastic pliers just for this) to do the job. Or buy your brother-in-law a couple of beers and have him pull the wires bare handed.

RE: [old-chevy-truck] Truck Noise
Whps! I forgot the punch line. Engine should get quieter when you pull the plug wire on the offending cylinder.
