A blog about my the history, acquisition and operation of my 1911 Model 62 Stanley Steamer.

Bad Engine Noise

​Took the Stanley out for a short run to test out the new pilot parts. Everything seemed fine until I pulled over because the pilot went and and the car started making a clunking noise as I slowed down. Once I re-lit the pilot and got back under way it was making the noise constantly. Long story short I trailered back to shop. Dropped the engine cover and this is what i found. A loud noise but no clear cause of it...
