Unfortunately I don't know any history of the car. I got it as salvage and it already had the problem. I expect that I made it a little bit worse when I ran it twice for about 30 seconds. It actually ran on 5 cylinders until I quit giving it gas. Lots of smoke and an expensive sounding rattle.
I'll post some followup pics here later this week when I open it further. I'm curious about the crank and head.
Timco: I thought about Flex Seal and Slick-50, but I'll probably just spray some triple expanding foam inside to stop things from rattling, then sell it as 'rebuilt' on Craigslist.
