My '48 Dodge 230 has a sound that is what I would call a heavy clicking when cold. The engine is noisier generally when cold., but i can hear a distinct click that stands out .
After running five minutes the engine is fairly quiet including the louder click. Nothing. I'm wondering if it could be a lifter that has quieted down after expanding or maybe a wrist pin.
As long as it is up to operating temperture, it's quiet and smooth.
Any thoughts?
Thanks, P6'38
