Lately tho, there is a vibration that I feel is coming from the motor. Oil pressure maintains at 10-11 lbs. Motor doesn't smoke or use any oil. I don't hear any noise that would indicate a rod going out. Would it be a good idea to pull the oil pan and see if something has come loose? Any thoughts on what may cause a vibration issue would be welcome. Thanks in advance for your input. [Reply]   [No Email]

You can run it that way (can"t run it with the pan off). Maybe get some ideas there- KISS formula.   [Reply]  [No Email]
