I can build them but I can not evaluate them. Give me the instructions and I can do anything but without those I am dumbfounded.
1971 Buick Skylark w/1971 Buick 350/350
My 71 Skylark makes the "no oil rattle sound" when giving excelerating (hard).
This sound is really bad when the engine is cold (make sense). When cold it makes the sound at little exceleration also.
The oil level is right on and I have not needed to add any. It is also still fairly clean looking after 1,500 miles.
Oil pump? Timing is a hair off and I will adjust that this weekend (need smaller hands to get the distributor bolt) but I don't think that is the issue for this.
I do not run this car hard at all but who doesn't like to show off every once it a while.
Also when I do excelerate there is no downshift feel to the transmission. There is no issues with top speed (unknown 125+ is too much for me, right now)
There is a lot of power in the transmission just no take off power.
I hate bringing the car(s) to a mechanic and finding out I just paid a lot for a small fix plus in this economy money IS an object.
Thank you in advance for any help. I am a novice so please use simple terms and explinations
I can take apart and put together anything as long as I do not have to figure out why on my own.
