Ah! Spring has finally arrived, although it really wasn't much of a winter
here in Southern Ct.  Regardless, it's time to clean up the yard, and get the
old Vanagon up and running again.  So, here is my dilemma.  For reasons
unknown, I did not winterize my westy and it has been sitting for a few
months.  When I started it up the other day, I found that there was a strange
clicking noise coming from the engine with each revolution.  Figuring that it
was just from the engine being cold and not run for a while, a drove it for a
few miles to see what would happen when it warmed up.  However, the noise did
not stop, and I drove home in case this was causing damage.  I have yet to
have it diagnosed, because I thought I would check with my knowledgable
friends on this list, before I did anything.  Insights would be greatly
appreciated, as I am eager to get it back on the road. Thanks
