Problems with my 360 - 10/26/09 02:01 PM
Lets see if I can make this sound sensible.
I had a 360/727 combo built for my 57 Plymouth. Everything is/was out of the box new and now has about 1000 miles on it.
Cold cranking the engine, there has always been a lifter noise for the first 10 seconds then goes away.
Last weekend, the noise was constant for about 30 seconds and went away. I got out on the highway and noticed upon deceleration, a muffled lifter noise would show up. So I drove home about 2 miles and parked it.
Where do I go from here? I pulled the v/c and noticed one of the rockers had some rocking play where the others were solid. Bad lifter? Wiped cam?
I'm good with general external work. I have never gotten into an engine myself.
