I once read that letting wood rot in the woods returns exactly the same amount of C02 into the environment as burning it. Trees are nature's solar collectors.

Air quality is another subject. England is putting a ban on home heating with coal and wet or green firewood. This makes sense. I'm also an advocate of clean burning technology(secondary air and/or catalytic) to reduce air pollution and in some instance restriction of older stoves. I'm not always but I try to be a "good steward" of Gods creation.

Don't get me wrong, I think burning green wood is not good for a host of reasons. It's the authoritarian urge to control that I don't like.

How are they going to enforce the ban on green wood burning? Cut now burn next month for alot of wood heating people

Stamp on wood sellers and also rely on people pointing the finger at their fellow man, children dobbing in their parents etc.
 
What's the oil look like and is it full.
Kinda sounds like my stove heating when it's loaded full of locust :blob2:.
It is full and fairly recently changed. To me it sounds like more than a collapsed lifter but I could do some seafoam followed by an oil change just to make sure.
 
When I hear a strange engine noise like that, I just turn the radio up and it goes away.
Ever wonder why harleys have loud exhaust. With the factory exhaust the engine is super noisy even when brand new. Even on my Road glide with rhineharts I can hear the rockers actuating .

OP I think it's a wrist pin slap definatly not a rod knock

My old BMW airhead made quite a racket. Noisy valves, sounded like an old sewing machine.:D

@Cowboy254 , ever read 'norwegian wood'? i thoroughly recommend it, its informative but also very interesting for a wood geek like us. In Norway they have those laws, and for good reason. I'm all for it here....but doubt it will be effective other than to push prices up and hence reduce middle class ambiance burning a bit. we aren't a nation that relies on wood heat.

So the wood sold in marts is green? Around me the wood must be kiln dried. I dont think so much for wetness but rather to stop the spread of bugs
 
Never seen a locust tree in my hood. Get lots of ironwood but it's so small that you would have to cut for days to gather enough to last long. Always know ironwood as the crap will spark your chain when cutting it.

Dry Black Locust will do the same. I don't know if green locust does. Never cut any green after dark.
 
Mine? It’s a 454
I had a little noise in my 467 that was in the Chevelle ,this happened about a second later. So that's why the 496 is going in now. Number 8 piston just disintegrated no pre ignition . Good news is TRW paid for the new engine rebuild with all forged items. Seems they had a run of bad pistons20170928_145256.jpg
