NO he was serious, he read ALL the HORROR stories about WOBBLE what a minute as I remember, I've NEVER heard anything bad happening just that I have wobble and squeak, and that goes away when it warms up.

Why I'll be damned!!!!! And all this time we've been talking about a non issue!.... aren't we just a bunch a dumb idiots I tell ya....

FOLKS: IT GOES AWAY WHEN IT WARMS UP DAMN IT!!! STOP MAKING CRAP OUT OF NOTHING WILL YA?!!!

Oh and also, stop worrying about your appetite loss, weight loss and body aches, you can still walk right? Can't be an issue then.

HUM.....not sure if this post is suggesting that a wobbling HB is something to worry about, or not to worry about. Interesting. The piston slap in my old Ford went away when it warmed up to.....but I still don't think that piston slap is OK to have.....LOL

It was humor... as in the posted under my text.
Ah.... the online fun!

So to clarify, as there seems to be a need, the statement quoted in my post is so out of touch with reality that I couldn't find anything serious to type in response.
Yet, I wanted to type something. Sometimes non sense, when pushed to some limit, has a fascinating effect on me. I feel drawn, it becomes almost irresistible. I have to leave a note, just to show my appreciation.

To sum it up: One might succeed in convincing a few here (and maybe even many who knows?) that a wobbling HB is OK, or even better, that a wobbling AND squealing HB is OK, but one would not succeed in convincing me. Even if the squealing goes away with a warmed up engine.

Well thanks for clarifying all that.....I think.....LOL. You definitely typed some good "Non Sense".
