So the shaft was offset more toward the thick side of the jousting than the thinner side?

Spent the entire Sunday fixing it. Easy fix once I got there. I did have to remove the oil cooler. Now to triple check valve adjustment since all covers are off. And then a lot of re-assembly. It'll be a least another week before I start it I'm afraid. I work 50hrs/wk and have plans next weekend.... ![]() ![]() |

A couple of things that might help. You could possibly narrow it down to one cylinder by grounding out the plug wires one at a time and listen for a change. If you have a stethescope or piece of heater hose, start listening around to try to narrow down the location.

Have you removed the vacuum line from the distributor. The vacuum cans for MFI are different to accept the pulses and a CIS can for example will clack like yours. Ask me how I know.
Never mind looks like vacuum can is disconnected. |

Tore engine completely down. Split case. Did not find clip.
Going back together with JE 10.5:1 New set of Mahle $6k just too much money. Pistons have changed in metallurgy of the years. So finding a single NOS or good used 10.3:1 from the 70's or 80's just not gonna happen. Paying a professional now, cant risk anything again, plus I work 50hr/wk just don't have the time. Sucks, but its in good hands, I trust the guy. ![]() |

Speedy, sorry about your bad luck. Hope you get it sorted asap.
I would also like to kmow more about this, I have a 3.0 that makes quite a lot of low rpm clacking and shutoff clatter:

Speedy914 - Wow, I am so sorry read and see this happen to your engine. But it will be back together and in the car soon.
I dreaded the start-up on my fresh engine after it sat for about 3.5 years before being fired up. We were flipping a coin to see if it would be OK once fired. Real nail biter for me.
