Hey everyone.
I got a 1985 M1008 with 75k on the odometer. I haven't owned it very long but the motor has always sounded healthy until recently.
The other day I took it on a longer drive (~100 miles) and on the way back the motor developed an annoying ticking sound. Kinda sounds like a jackhammer off in the distance, and its frequency increases with RPM. Here is a video of the sound.
What do you guys think? Is the motor going out? It still has power and drives fine, but I've parked it while I think about what to do with it.
Opinions please.
Thanks
