I have a m104.994,it runs and idles fine,it has a mettalic sound like a stuck lifter,coming from front of engine.I suspect aluminum in the oil filter.
Do you all think its in the timing cover.Note head is not covered with aluminum.Filter did its job.Do you all think I can repair motor in the vehicle?Or should I trash motor?
