Out for a drive and was getting on it a bit... fun while it lasted. Lost power - like it was out of fuel. It still ran, but like it was only on half the cylinders. The only other clue is a rhythmic clacking (louder than a click, less than a knock) that seems to be coming from the timing chain cover (using the rubber hose stethoscope). Idle is rough.
I checked the timing... same as it was before - at least at the pointer/dampner. Checked for vacuum leak/hose knocked off (nothing found).
My diagnosis so far is: 'this is not good.'
Ideas? Things I should check?
