After a long, on and off, restoration (not the motor) I finally got the '74 on the road. Took a few test drives to the gas station, working out minor glitches and within 10 miles, I hear a knocking sound, like a rod knock but less consistent. Maybe broken rocker. I drained the oil and found a few tiny chunks of metal and the rest had a thin paper consistency. I believe it's the bearing material. Anyone?
Thanks for any input (before I pull the engine out. |

At this point it doesn’t really matter what it is.
Time for an engine teardown to assess and repair. It will not get better with time and more mileage. |
