So one day near the end of a 25 mile trip home, then engine dropped power, and started to sound like unholy things, including death. Even with it sounding as horrible as it did, I was able to get it home, and beyond the noise, it drove fine. I'm trying to figure out what might be wrong, so I know if I need a new short block or not, but one thing I think may have happened is the timing chain may have broken? It sounded like something was bouncing around low
down, so maybe that could be the cause? I have it down to the heads, and the plugs out, but the valves are all straight, no rockers are broken, and the plugs looked perfect. Anyone have any input?
