Engine Noise
My 1929 engine has developed a disturbing noise which I can best describe as a rattle, or a clack, clack, clack (not a clank). The noise usually does not occur at idle, but appears once revs increase (maybe 1500 rpm) and then will usually , but not always, stop as rpms increase above 2000(?).
When driving under load there is usually no noise, but when I take my foot off the accelerator the clack, clack, clack frequently appears.
I think the problem may be coming from cylinder #2 because when I short out the plugs one by one, I get the expected decrease in revs from #s 1,
3, and 4 but in addition I hear a definite but more subdued rattle or chatter or clack coming from #2.
Any thoughts about whats going on would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
