It could possibly be something else, but I think I'm starting to hear some timing chain rattle. Considering I have access to the exact same engine, what would a typical mechanic charge for labor? Most of the mechanics around here charge $60 an hour. And I really don't want to fix the timing chain, knowing that the complete kit is $300 and labor is a few hundred more, and then there's still the head gasket issue with these engines.. I'd rather start somewhat fresh with a low mileage one.
Selling it isn't an option. I just had the rockers repaired and overall I have too much money into this to give up now.
