start up shiftting 1st - 2nd approx 2300 RPM then when engine up to temp. shiftting 3200 - 3500RPM unless I want to pass!
Engine shut down on her own, then when stopped I restarted, she stated immediately, that was my introduction to the "death rattle". Not knowing the problem I restarted the engine, briefly, two more times after this.

Well, the fact that is started fine after is a good sign - if valves were bent it would have run poorly. Hopefully it's a simple bearing replacement and then back on the road for the nicer weather.
Good to see another Eastern Canadian on here as well!
