Knocking 340

I would probably pull engine and pan to investigate the issue if that’s possible after ruling out a lifter problem. Not what you want to hear I’m sure. Could be an oil pump giving out. I’ve had that happen.

Yes, when I get the 340 home and get it on the Stand and have a look. Im not buying the car, just the engine.

Oil Pump would be amazing too!

If it was bearings or piston pin would that quieten down once warm?
