Default Re: Clicking noise in engine during idle
I just finished a rebuild and had a clicking noise. Talked to Walt Dupont and he said a piston in backwards may cause a piston slap. Pulled the heads and sure enough. One piston in backwards. Easy to do if you are old and don't pay attention on assembly. John
