bushing or bearing?

mrashwood · Mar 4, 2018

I have an 1850 gas that has a noise in the engine. maybe like a small clunk? or baby knock...or heavy tick. Is there a sure way to tell what is causing it? I held a screwdriver against my ear and I think its louder towards the top of the engine block on the right side farthest rear cylinder. Kinda hard to tell...lots of clicks and clunks in there. I was thinking wrist pin bushing...orrrr..... I dunno.

I would check the valve lash for proper adjustment first. If that's not the problem I would tear it down before it blows!!

Well...I guess if it's either the bushing or the bearing it won't go away without taking it apart. I'll check the valves, maybe I'll get lucky. Thanks for the reply.

Why not take an oil sample and have it sent in to see if there are high levels of metal contamination in the oil?

I didn't even think of it! I can do that. It's going to be a while before I could tear into it anyway. Is there a certain amount of hours it should be run before a sample? I just changed the oil in it.
