Re: Restoring Rusty

You need to isolate the sound. Start by killing cylinders by removing plug wires. Your idle seems low to me for even a mild cam. Did you confirm that the balancer has not slipped and your TDC is true on your mark? Over heat issue might be an air pocket in the cooling system. You need to put the truck on the driveway, make the radiator higher point then the back of the block. Just because water comes to the top of the intake doesn't mean there is not a pocket.
