Default Re: New engine does GREAT, but

...a minor update

Managed to do a short test drive as no rain for some hours.

Starting to drive, i thought noise might have gone.

The warmer the engine (gearbox) gets, the more noise
there is.
Its a sound with the speed of the driveshaft (i guess)
but out of gearbox area.
Best to spot while just sailing along.

Decided to put car on jacks/stands, turne wheels an
listen with a stethoscope (next weekend)

Jim
Id love to let you drive it
SADLY there is no other "A" arround
( most pre ww2 things are gone somehow)

Normal "A"-noises with my old engine used to be VERY different
(and additional i guess i dont like the Float-A motor )

Flamingo
Good one. Didnt take U-joint away so ididnt have to reinstall
Should have checked it anyway
Pilot bearing was just one year old but its very new now !

Bill
Thank you for make me think positive.
For sure got to get used to new (float-A-motor) noises .
Got to top you... Some time ago i lost the knob of the window-
swing-arm which fell outside the car while driving.
Fancy this ... Pre-war-car parked and fully-grown-owner
skidding on knees through brush-wood....

Im pretty sure its not the rear-end.
Destroyed the pinion just one year ago, had lots of fun than and
did everything new there (additional i cant stand this idea).

Further ideas wellcome

Will keep you updated
