I think I may be reading too much into the comments made in Williams (" How
to restore ...") manual. It could easily be worn rod, main and cam bearings. I
think also, the rattle/flutter ... low pressure etc is also more in my head
than in the performance of the vehicle, however the speedo shows 70K now and I
have yet to do any bottom end work. If all goes well this driving season (until
December or so here in the NE) I will be looking into this at the "maintenace
interval" (Jan-March).
