new question about oil

[rob drag racer]

after finally getting my vp running again i let it idle to running temp suddenly there was a clunking sound in the middle of the motor

but i let it cool and fine again i guess this is more a oil change is needed than anything else (the oil i bought at the beginning to put in after i bought this engine seemed thin to start with) and yes i have oil pressure either way i need input i don't want to destroy this engine

[rob drag racer]

come on guys im sure someone has somthing to say that would help me out

Are all 6 cylinders still firing? is there any more noise from it?

Id put money on a cam issue which is very possibly an oil problem..

id wack some thicker oil in her n see how it goes mate

when the cam bearings gone it sounds similar to lifter noise.. but its in the middle..

and soon enough itll just stop n seize.. we had one do it in my bros vn..

moral of the story 18yr olds should listen to their 16yr old brother that knows alot more than them.. i mean dont buy commodore motors with rocker covers full of sludge :P
