thanks for the camping offer, Leo, but i won't be able to make it this year. got the motor in the bus this week but not confident in the long block i bought. need to get some local miles on the bus first. after first starting the motor, heard a noise like a loose piece of metal rattling around. first time i heard it i was in the driver seat and couldn't tell location. second time was while walking back to the engine compartment. second time sounded like in the bell housing. it was loud enough the kennie heard it about 75 feet away. yesterday, friends came by to listen and help me find the area. ran it and drove about 20 min drive. of course, no sound. a few local trips and see what happens. sorry to miss a good show and a camp out.
