Mom and I took a short drive Saturday afternoon upriver to Calder Idaho. We were not in a hurry so I was driving about 40 mph. All went well until we stopped at a stop sign on the county road, and I hear "tic tic tic". My first thought was crap, there is a rod knocking. Got out and listened under the hood. It did not sound solid enough for a rod. More like a rattle. I got it home and parked it in the garage. Today I investigated the source of the noise. I took a rod and listened to each cylinder and all sounded the same. I then loosened the fan belt and found that the crankshaft pulley was loose. Whooo a sigh of relief.
So now that I have found the source I have to ask what should the crank pulley nut be torqued to?
