Default Re: Noise in my new 29 a engin

It could be a loose timing gear nut. A simple test is to insert timing pin into timing hole while the engine is running at idle speed. Slowly push pin against gear if the noise goes away it means either the nut is loose or the gear is worn. Sometimes a worn 2 piece gear will produce this type of noise.
