Hey guys,
When I start the engine of my folks VT Olympic it almost sounds like there is sand being rubbed against the metal in the cylinders (if that makes any sense). I checked the oil and it seems okay...What else could it be??
Also, it overheats quickly at random times (Could be stuck in traffic, could be doing 60 down the road) but then the temp goes back down quickly too. I've read in other posts that I might need a new radiator. Could the two issues be related?
Also thinking of getting my own VT soon and putting a bit of money into it
Thanks
