Hi Folks, I'm back in the Vanagon groove after several months of Vanagonlessness. I got my 90 back after my divorce and just put an engine in it last weekend. Trouble is, it sounds tinny and more like a diesel than a gasoline powered. It's not the clicking sound of a sticky lifter but a loud rattling. My dad is helping me but he knows very little about volkswagens and thinks they make no sense at all but he thought maybe it was the transmission pressure plate or a bearing. Has anyone had this experience and could maybe offer some advice? The engine was from a junkyard and comes with a warranty, so I can get another one but if the trans is causing this I'd like to know before going through the engine removal and transport thing all over again!
