yet another issue.
it only starts this when it gets around 150 degrees, i havent been past 180deg. w/ it yet.
i can hear it inside the car at idle, but at 1,500rpms i cant hear it.
its a weird click, pop, crackle sound, not quite an eletrical pop, the video does make the sound a tad different. the upper rad hose pulses when it clicks, is that the t-stat doing something stupid?
its a new t stat and water pump...
and some of you know that i assembled my bottom end last time...didnt check all my clearances like i should have, (very very stupid of me!) and by crank and bearings went bye bye.
i got a machine shop to build the short block, new crank, bearings, balance, the whole 9 yards again. well after 50 miles i do the oil change, i found 1 piece thats too big for my liking of a metal strip...i hope this is not another disaster story! i dont have another 2k to drop on a damn short block, and yes i have spent that same amount twice on a freakin stock block, looking back that was a very dumb decision...live and learn i guess.
anyways if anyone has an idea of what the clicking might be, i would be grateful to hear it.
