i'm not quite sure how to explain it, but here i go.
about a week ago, driving out to the lake, worked perfect. except for a little burning oil, leaking oil. i had just taken out the tranny to replace the rear main seal. everythign went back together perfect. went on a few trails near our lakehouse to test to make sure everything worked well. after the last trail, i started heading back to the city. nothing serious was done on the trial. haqlfway home, i let off the gas to slow down and i hear some type grinding noise from what i thought was the tranny. only did it when i let off the gas with it still in a gear. if i let it in nuetral and reved it, noise would only happen when i let off. got it home slowly, drove about 5 miles with it like that.
turned it off, and then back on in nuetral to listen to the engine. sounded like a diesel when i cranked it. popped the hood and reved to see if i could pinpoint the sound. sounded like the top-end. i let it cool back down and took the valve cover off today to look at the timing chain and tensioners. verything looked fine, no slack in the chain and everythign was intact. any other ideas. i think i just bought another engine to replace it, but i still want to get this engine running good as a spare.
sorry about it being so long, but had to list everything i could think of.
engine has 208k miles on it and supposidly had a rebuild. there is RTV around the front of the head.
