Pantera is running great. Did not need to change the oil but did so anyway. Took her out for a hard drive and all is well…..EXCEPT the 180’s at the cross over balance tube started rattling. Not as noticeable once the headers are hot but I am deaf too. Neighbor
came by and asked if everything was good (he heard it too!)…he put a gloved hand on the balance tube and the rattling stopped. I Suggested he may need to sit in the engine bay in 14 days or I just go faster so I cant hear the sound.
<br>
<br>
Checked all the header bolts but problem is at center tube where there is a slip connection. But if that is all I have to complain about I am ready. Checked out the new trailer and it is ready aa well.
