<x-charset Windows-1252>Well, I finally got my Type 3 Ghia back together today - NOS exhaust, rebuilt carbs., blah, blah, blah. When I drove it home after I bought it, there was a nasty noise at idle coming from the fan or exhaust area. I figure it was the exhaust because it was pretty wasted and ended up dropping pieces of itself off on the drive home. I fired it up today and the same noise was still there, it sounds like the fan might be rubbing on it's metal shroud? Removing the fan belt made no difference. The noise is NOT rpm-dependent, so maybe something in the flap work is rattling around? Right now, the flaps are wedged wide-open because there is no thermostat assembly. It basically sounds like there is a bolt in there flying around. It is LOUD, you can't even hear the engine running. I know I have heard people mention this before on the list so does anyone remember what the result was? I plan to drop the engine soon unless the solution is obvious.
