Re: Best Car Cover
BTW - going from the one to other - thought I'd include pics. The barn is about 24'x53' so once stabilized - maybe more room for toys (but I won't let the Mrs. know that part).

Re: Engine Noise Again- Help-Opinions?
If it may be this here is my question. I had the oil pan gasket replaced recently. If the oil pump retaining screw was tightened against the pump so it didn't fall out, and wasn't loosened up...

Took the old girl out for a drive earlier today but at the end she got really noisy. In December the camshaft gear was replaced as it was well worn. Now I've seem to have another set of noises -...
