I Fixed(got most of it) squeel, turned out to be loose intake bolts, I could actually see oil leaking/ bubbling out of back area of intake using a flashlight at night. It took an hour to set up a socket that would reach and I ended up removing 12mm banjo bolt and bracket 13mm bolt to push trans dipstick aside. I got the back two nuts tight and about 90% of noise gone. I will remove air cleaner and get to the rest of them(I hope).

I have switched out injectors on number 3 and delivery valve from my old engine with clacking/slapping sound that ran smooth as could be at idle. It did not get rid of the rocking. I also switched rack damper bolt too. It still rocks once it's warm but runs smooth cold. I also found that the glow plug on that cylinder(3) was not working either. It has an audible miss sound with slight blue smoke that smells like unburned fuel. I will check out the thread about baldness to see if I can find anything there. I need to do a compression check at this point. Has anybody ever had a motor sit for 5 years and have a ring unseat? As far as motor mounts, could the rubber be cold andstiff and as the engine warms the mounts they get loose? They look factory and perfect but they could be 30 years old too.

Could I have a valve too tight on #3?? I may go back and see what the #3 valves adjustments are set at.

The turn signals cancel in a wide turn and once in a while in a shallow turn. I will check the thread on them as well.

I am now finding the fact that if a car sits for five years un-touched it will have lots of aches and pains when you wake it up, no matter how nice it looks. Thanks for the help.
If you think the rings are stuck put a couple ounces of Seafoam in there and soak it for a day or two. Turning the engine over a couple of times with the injector out will expel most of the Seafoam. If anything will 'unstick,' a ring Seafoam will. I use it to decarb outboard engines.

Warning: You might want to change the oil after doing this. I have never used this process on a automobile and don't want anything in my auto's crankcase except clean oil.
