Went to take the car out for some photos and the sound of metal came out instead. Second start produced very rough idle so I shut her down. I'm thinking a valve somewhere let loose.

I was taking photos to get ready to sell it 😠

There must be a pox on my soul.

An el-cheap0 bore scope will help see stuff.

Good idea! I will try that when I get a chance. Been busy with med issues but still keeps on ticking.
