I can hear a strange noise coming from the engine of my H. She runs good, doesn't burn oil and runs strong. I don't really want to call it a knock because it sort of sounds like a cross between a soft knock and a tick, if that makes sense.
I changed the oil and found metal particles around the bottom of the oil filter. Now, my question is this. I have no idea when the oil was changed last on this one and I did find that the paper oil filter was very wrinkled and soaked with oil to the point of saturation. I know metal particles aren't good in the oil, but I also know that there is normal wear and tear that happens over the years, that's one of the reasons why they use in oil filter. Is some metal in the oil "normal"? Or is this a sign of bad things to come shortly?
I'm thinking about pulling the pan soon and look at the main bearings. Any other places to look?
Also, if the engine needs to be rebuilt is there a good book or website someone knows that would walk me through, step by step on rebuilding the engine in this model H?
