Ok, so  we returned on Sunday from a 600 mile trip to Buses of the Corn -
no
mechanical problems at all - no weird sounds, temp right on, no  flickering
lights - nothing but smooth sailing.

Same goes for Monday  an Tuesday during my daily 40 mile round trip commute
to work. All is  well.

I get in this mornign and start up the bus and I hear TICK, TICK,  TICK,
TICK
- loud terrible sounding. I turn off the engine and check the  oil - all is
well (20/50 Castrol changed just before our Corn  trip).

lifter tap..my '84 does that if i let it sit for a  while...
