This may not be your case for sure, but I think its your oil.
Interesting....

I just switched to 20/50 weight not long ago to quiet some of the tappity tap that's so common with these 292's. I used to go with a lighter weight in cold weather and that just may be the issue. It's all coming back to me now, as I haven't been a motorhead for too many years. I'll check that first. Thanks for the reply....
