Well, the weather was descent again today, I think it hit 40 or so... Great weather to put on the new carb and take the truck for a run. So that is exactly what i did.
I drove to my brothers place about 15 miles away. thing ran great the entire time better than it ever has actually. Pulled into my bros place an shut her down for a chat.
The typical hey that thing sounds sweet, and can't wait for summer hooplah.
Well i went to start the truck, and it fires up nice but I here knock, knock, knock, and it gets faster an slower as the motor revs. So I get out and we listen. It seemed to have gone away. Must have been the exhaust or my imagination.
Do you think I looked at my gauges?
Go leave and gotta' wait for a bit of traffic, finally I decide I am sick of waiting. So I pull out nice get er' straight and giver th gun. Picks up speed nice.
Then I have a nice quiet drive home. Well quiet as I can be with lake style headers.
I get home and go to clear more ice out of the drive before I park it so I leave it running. I get and KNOCK, KNOCK,KNOCK! WTF?
Then I check my oil pressure... 20psi and dropping... My heart just sank. So much for summer cruises...
So I finished clearing the ice and covered back up. It will sit now... Til' I can pull couple grand out of my a$$ to rebuild the motor.
Thanks for listening.
