Alex,

Sorry for the two messages, also check the bolt holding the vibration damper
on the front of the crankshaft and make sure it is tight.

Subject: thumping sound in motor
 
Would anyone know what an 440 would sound like if it has a spun bearing? My
64 Dodge has a rebuilt engine that I installed last year. Whenever you try
to start it, sounds like a thumping sound once every rotation. The car
starts and idles fine and good power, but when it is running it has a
knocking sound. I can hear it better on the right side of the engine. The
motor has a good 45# of oil pressure at all times. Other than the sound it
seems to run good. I'm just afraid I might be destroying the motor.  Any
ideas where to look???  I did take the valve covers off and everything seems
ok there.                     Thanks all,   Alex in Ohio
