RE: Help engine noise

Sounds like they may have bent a valve or a pushrod. Pull the pass side valve cover and check the pushrods on that cylinder to see if either of them are bent, then rotate the crank through a full revolution watching the rockers to make sure they follow correctly and don't get loose at any point (if a valve is bent there should be a little slack in the valvetrain, depending on how deep the lifters are preloaded). The "chirp" you hear could be air leaking past the valve. This could also be a dry rocker shaft, if a cam bearing turned in it's bore (had that happen on a Chrysler 360).
Hope you find an easy fix, sounds like it could be a stout motor. I'm sure you will get several posts on how to identify what you have. Look it over and write down all the casting #'s you can find, you'll need them.
This thread, so far...
