Might be helpful for buyers to know: It makes timing noise (potantially) but does it still run? Since you mention dropping a new motor in, so not sure if it runs or doesnt.

Good luck with the sale!

It starts but I don’t want to run it and risk more damage. I’ll try attach a short video with sound taken the day the noise appeared and had it towed home.
Thanks Fix.

Right now I’m about to donate it for a $500. tax write off. So if anyone wants it contact me asap today.
