Here's a video, you can hear the rattle at idle. Disregard the cobweb at the beginning, I didn't see that til I posted it.

UPDATE: Headlights are fixed. Relay just needed a little cleaning. Took about a 40 mile ride today, smell some oil burning. I think a small amount is leaking on the exhaust. Oil level is fine though and changed at the beginning of the year.

Yeah I know, I'm shaky

 

Is that fan hitting the lower fan shroud?

 

no, it sounds like it's near the flywheel which is why I tried to get the camera near the back of the engine to hear better.

 

Wow everything works on that car Im jealous.

The oil leak is probably the cam seal orings leaking. They get old, brittle and start to weap oil. (Not hard to fix, but time consuming and requires a special tool or two.)

I have a similar rattle I'm thinking Torque tube bearings, or Torque Converter Bearings. So I will be checking them (First by removing the torque tube and checking the bearings in it for destruction).

Oh and every-time you slam a door or hatch on a Shark 5 kittens and 3 puppies die. Stop killing the Puppies and Kittens!

 

Looks like it's too nice for a parts car. Hope someone here picks it up. Good luck with the sale.

 

OK, I'll stop killing puppies and kittens. Actually I was trying to show how solid the door closes. I'm usually pretty gentle. That door, for some reason, tries to slam on it's own. It doesn't want to stay open. I think the car is trying to tell me to shut up, get in and drive.

 

Likek I said, better condition than my '85 but I don't think I want to go back to an '84 after putting time and effort into the '85.
I am no expert but I am in Chicago weekly and could check it over for someone.

 

Roger, I am right on the Wisconsin/Illinois border. You're welcome to check it out anytime. I might even have a beer for you.

 

its a shame really that you are selling the car has it as been your fathers from new maybe the car door is slamming shut because your father does,nt want you to sell keep it garaged and off road and just educate yourself on the 928 from all the members on here get loads of help and links for fixes and when you do fix something its a great feeling good luck what ever you do mate

 

doesn't help that the hedlights was a simple fix and the car is running amazingly strong. Maybe I need to keep it. I really do enjoy driving it especially lately in the cool weather with the sunroof open and the sun shining. She's got such a great rumble to the motor.

 

Go over to jalopyjournal, do some quiet research, and send that 59 packing.

I dumped a low miles 64 Buick that I had curated in the basement for 10 years for an 84 928.

No more rusty iron.

 

You seriously think this is rusty iron I should send packing on jalopyjournal?

 

Dooood Thats sweet!

 

Its ground zero for that type of car.
