We do have a spare pump if it turns out to be bad. Atleast we purchased it for 700 so we have some room to spend some money on it. i think we will be dropping the oil pan and removing valve covers to see if we can see what's going on. we never did depress the clutch, might have to start it one more time to see if the noise goes away.

I'm in the process of replacing the crankshaft on a 9N that was run without oil pressure when the oil pump lost it's prime because the gasket where the pick up tube is bolted to the oil pump was broken allowing air in the pump. Ruined one of the throws on the crankshaft. Zane [Reply]  [No Email]

I would say the 3 times we started it it didn't even run for a minute total. the oil pressure came up on the 3rd start. we won't get around to tinkering with it till the weekend probably, the hood we already had off to clean the tank and rewire. so we didnt bolt it back on yet just set it in place. When we cranked it over without the key on we heard no funny noises in the motor. i will report back soon as we get to tinkering around with it!! [Reply]  [No Email]
