check your oil pressure
check if your getting knock
take a mechanics stethoscope/long screwdriver and listen around to try to pinpoint it
im not sure if an oscilloscope would be worthwhile to try or not though, so we will leave that till last.
yea thats what he called it.. stethoscope.. he wants to try that tomorrow... oil pressure is good... and raises when engine raises. no knocking noise yet. but could it be early and the wear on crank/rod not be bad enough to make a lot of noise?
i wont sleep at all tonight... found this book online that im thinking about getting.. figured it would help, if not now, sometime in the future. read some good reviews.
