Does this critter have a timing CHAIN or BELT?
When I get to 3K, sometimes 4K, my valve train clatters. Im thinking with 134K on it, it needs a new timing link.
Is it also possible, it needs a head job too? (Not THAT kind of head job...) It did smoke at idle a bit too (used some additive to kill that) so Im pretty sure the valve seals are tired.
The engine has GREAT power, just the clatter concerns me.
Any advice or suggestions would be nice,
Thanx...
