When to worry about engine noises?

My big block produced 20 psi oil pressure after Mount Saint Helene's ash took the bearings out in 1980.

There was a LOT of that back then. I parked my car and walked through the worst of that crap.

What a mess. In fact, May 18 2023 will be 43 years ago.

I was at Riverdale in 2011ish to watch a WORCS race and if you hadn’t lived though or seen what happened you wouldn’t know it happened.

That was after we were told it would be decades if not centuries before wildlife and the forests would recover. Took about 9 months for vegetation to come back and the deer and elk were spotted soon after.

Imagine that.
