"Sounds like an exhaust manifold leak. Anybody ever had this happen? The noise seems aft and low on the port side, but because of the fit in the engine compartment, the only way to see is pull the motor. Ideas? History?"
 
"Winn,
This could be anything


"Winn,
This could be anything from a valve tap to a bad exhaust flapper.

If you can't tell where the noise is coming from and don't have an engine sthethascope, you can make a ghetto version by sticking a bolt in the end of a length of hose then jamming the other end of the hose in your ear. Probe the area by contacting it with the bolt.

Neither the AMA nor OSHO will endorse this diagnostic method but you will be suprised what you will be able to hear.

Good luck
Rick"
