Euro Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 I'm not sure if you mentioned this before...just curious is the motor modded at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 check the lifters. If one of these engines sits for longer than a week the oil will drain out of the lifters causing them to tap like mentioned. Its possible that you might need a lifter or two.

ismellrealbad Posted June 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 im also pretty sure its a lifter. im going to take it over to this dude who knows his shit and get his opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ismellrealbad Posted August 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 ok just to keep everyone updated and assured im not dead or in jail.... My trans went bad (or so i thought...) in this past time, causing me to not be able to move it and not be able to look at it. Yeah well all it was was one of the linkages snapped. you'd think by the shifter moving around near freely that would be common sense to think linkage and not trans. Well it happend progressivley. first it was just reverse, then 5th and R then 1st n 2nd. never got a chance to even look under the hood. parked it n gave up. I seriously havent even had the time, which is why i dissappeared from here. I'm gunna put a linkage in within a week and slowly work these problems out. i have even less time and money now but im trying. and thats my progress sofar...spectacular Bake i know u gave me a whole shitload of linkages, but im gunna try to buy one new just cuz mine were in the shape of urs and theyre a bitch to do. I may also sell the trans you gave me cuz i need money if i do sell it tho ill let u in on some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ismellrealbad Posted October 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 without checking anything (too lazy to pull lifters and ridiculous to pull oil pan) i decided to hook my oil pressure gauge up and drive it around. i wanted to see what the pressure was while actually driving and not idling. well it was fine, but the tapping was pissing me off so i just said fuck it. floored it in 2nd and bam motor shut off. cranked it and it barely turned like the battery was dead. im assuming i spun a bearing. i will be buying a car cover and ill pull the motor in spring once assuming at that time i get some money to do something about it. unless of course someone would like to buy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ismellrealbad Posted November 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 nope i havent checked anything. i dont have a hoist yet and have no intentions of spending any money until spring when ill have $ and when i can work on it. Got the cover n shes a sitting duck now. poor baby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miko K Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 When I started my motor for the first time after the build, I didn't have oil pressure at all the first run. So I started checking things and found out that I was trying to flow my oil filter backwards. That just doesn't work. I swapped the oil lines and voila! , it purred right away. Just food for thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
