Have this summer bought a 59 Galaxie with a 292/auto trans. Sometimes I get a metallic clacking sound from it, Oil press is 4kgs cold, 3.5kgs varm. It cant be bearing related, oil press would not be as good if a bearing is gone. The clack doesnt seem to be engine temperature related, its seems to bee random, just comes and goes, maybe a bit better when warm. Since this is my first Y I send out the question to you. This weekend i will listen whith a stetoskope, I have had several Ford SBs an whith a SB i would know what was the source to a sound like this. Have also suspected that it is something in the auto that sounds. Well, before I tear it down, any tips or someone have experienced the same? Will anyway rip off the heads since it blued a bit when it got varm in the cues when we where at Power meet this summer. It otherwise runs really well and takes of suprisingly well. Regards Mr Sweden/ Per in Uppsala Sweden.
