Okay, so I verified the valve adjustment with my .006 "tuning blade" and it
was on the money. I started the bus again and the ice crusher was back. This
time I decided to wait and see if there were any changes after the motor warmed
up and sure enough the sound went away.
I will have some time today to try and hunt down where this sound is coming
from. Additionally, I checked all of my exhaust connections to make sure they
were tight prior to starting the engine. Also when the motor is cold the sound
diminishes with increased RPM and the sound is absent when the motor is warm.
Anyone had a similar experience? 1600 single port.

Yes, it was a valve adjustment. The motor was cold when I made the
adjustments. Idiot guide 101.
I haven't run the motor in about 3 weeks. I hope it is a valve. Update to
follow.

How do you tune valves? I adjust mine but have never tuned them. Seriously,
sounds like you might have gotten some of them off a bit. Don't run the motor
till you check them again and do it on a COLD engine.

Thanks, last time I checked discount and ntb they can't balance the five wide
Ill check again.
I have a new motor mystery taking center stage. I tuned the valves last night
and when I started the motor it sounded like an ice crusher. :)
I was too tired to mess with it. Hopefully I'll have a resolution over the
weekend.

I haven't been able to find the Hankook 08s, I have found the 07s on line at
tire rack. I called my local VW shop and they can't get them either. He
recommended a similar tire with a reinforced sidewal but the cost he gave me
for mounting and balancing was almost $140 per tire. Which seems outrageous
when Drew is paying $78.
Eric where did you buy your tires? I can easily drive to Houston if I need to.

I too have the Hankook RA08's installed on my '66.
Great tires.
They did a lot to fix the wind loading on the sides of the driving
billboard.
