David, the advice from Bob Jhon sounds about right.To track such noises I use a piece of heater hose like a doctors stethescope.You should be able to figure out if it originates from the top or bottom end.I had a similar sound on a M-37 230C.I.D. engine and it turned out to be the piston wrist pin wearing a groove on the cylinder wall due to the retainer failing.(ouch!)had to sleeve the cylinder for that one.I hope you dont have the same misfourtune.Try the heater hose trick,it works every time.
