<VV> Loud noise when hot - SOLVED

[Ron]

Thanks to the excellent responses from VV, the screeching engine problem is 
solved, I hope.  It turns out that the right head had all of the push rods 
installed backwards and apparently have been that way for a long time as the 
pivot balls are all deeply scored.  I never would have guessed that slightly 
dry pivots could make so much noise!  The fact that the engine hasn't been 
run for about fifteen years may have something to do with it.

Great responses were received from Bob Helt, Tom Zimmerman, Clark Hartzel, 
Matt Nall and specifically Jerry McKenzie who reminded me to check the push 
rod orientation.  I only regret that I pulled the head looking for the 
problem and it wasn't really necessary.  I'm sure that I'm the only one who 
has ever done that.

Thanks again,
RonH
