Guys, dad's 97 960 is giving us trouble. A good battery got killed and he had a new one put in. After a few days of not driving it, no crank. I went over and put my dvm on it and it was clearly drained as far as it can go. Zero volts. I jump it and read roughly 13.5 v going back with headlights on, 13.75 with them off. So it is charging somewhat. After a few minutes I notice the positive cable is pretty warm. I trade cars with him and drive it to my house, about 20 minutes in traffic. G

I just rebuilt this motor, my first one, and it has this knocking noise. Take a look:   Video link of the motor starting: http://s1069.photobu...0edb19.mp4.html   Video of the knocking noise: http://s1069.photobu...f7c1ea.mp4.html   The noise gets louder when under a load.   The noise seems to be in the timing cover.   History, the motor has maybe 10-15 minutes of run time. Timing components are new. Same set from engine machine service. Block taken to a machine shop for cleaning, magnafluxi

Hope you have a good one Mike .... play nice now.....hahahaha
