Post subject:  strange nosie commming from my slant

Hi everyone, I have a quick question about a problem I'm having with my slant. I have a 66 dart with a fairly new rebuilt engine in it (20,000 miles) and just recently it has been making a clunking noise while it is at idle and cold. The noise stops when I accelerate up to 1000 rpms or higher, or when the engine warms up after about 5 minutes of driving. So if I let the car warm up and idle at a say a stoplight, the sound is gone. I was under the impression that if it was a rod or main bearing problem the noise would continue throughout all rpms ranges or engine temp. Oil pressure is great at idle (40 psi) and it comes up right as I start the car. Anyone have an idea? I haven't done any tests on the car yet because I am busy but I am not driving it anymore until I figure this one out. Thanks

Hi man

wich grade of oil are you using? is your dipstick fine and you can trust it not to underlie the oil level? Does your oil pump has the tube? wich filter are you using? (aorry for al the questions, they are for helping you better)

take care and welcome to this wonderful board... (we're a nice crowd unless you put a 2bbl carb with a stovebolt adapter onto a 1 bbl manifold :lol: :mrgreen:)
