Sometimes that broom handle may give you the wrong diagnosis. My late father-in-law had a 1950 flathead Ford with a V8 engine and he had a noise in it and the car only had 50,000 miles on it. He wanted me to tell him what the noise was and it sounded like like a loose rod. The car didn't use any oil and ran good on the road.

I told him to stop by the Ford garage and have them listen to the noise. They said that's a worn timing gear as soon as he rev up the engine.
I replaced the timing gear and sure enough that fixed the problem. Hal
