Tomorrow if i have the energy I will pop the valve cover off and check things out. I thought the sound was coming more from the back bottom end,...
Flexplate looks alright, the sparkling engine oil has me a little worried.
I did both to get a good idea of everything. Sure enough, the trans is indeed pumping fluid, that seems to be clear of contaminants. The engine...
me too! haha next I'm gonna drain a lil fluid from both the engine and the trans to see if there is anything sparkling. If that checks out, then...
Well, i thinned down the heads of all of them, but no luck, still making them sounds.
[ATTACH] I pulled one of the bolts, filed down the head, and sharpied it. I'll pop it back in, spin things around, and see if the sharpie is...
Oh, of course! Jim is so wonderful. He and my mailman helped build a lot of this engine haha

The old trans fluid went in a pan with brake fluid and some other drainages, so thats not exactly going to be doable. I plan to have a transgo...
