I have just fully rebuilt the engine of my 2.5...every thing was replaced with new except the pistons, crank, main casings & heads...the crank casing was replaced with a good second hand 1 from a 3.2... it was damage due to the failure of the IMS...on start up cold it runs like a sewing machine...when hot & rev,s to 2,500 I get a very bad rattle coming from around the oil filter housing on the over run...it sounds like chain whip...after I strip & rebuild the motor...I want to build a test stand so I can run the engine before putting it back in the car...any idea,s.
