Video of 216 engine on test stand

[Phil Waterman]

There was a noise that I could hear very faintly so I recorded a secondary sound tract. I’ve edited the video adding a second sound tract from a microphone mounted on a stalk so that it is literally sticking inside the clutch and pressure plate, this mic picks up sound that it is difficult to hear with the normal ear outside the engine. As the sound track brings out two noises cannot be identified with the unaided ear. After identifying the source of the noise I opened the engine up again to check the clearance on number 5 and 6 connecting rods. What was found instead of being the .001-.0045 called for in the manual these two rods were .006-.008 the clearance was reduced by removing the appropriate number of rod shims from each rod bolt.

I've up loaded the new video and sound tract to my web site. Take a listen, after I finish checking all the rods and reassemble I’ll add the after recording.
