Bought a new toy day before yesterday and got it running yesterday, its a Ford 1710 and it runs good, I have noticed a low rpm knock or rattle anywhere below 1200 rpm, once I increase the rpm's the noise goes away, I might also mention that when I first crank it, it smokes for 2-3 mins (every time) and then clears up, talked to a man yesterday who sounded like he knew what he was talking about and he said the initial smoke is probably valve stem seals leaking, the low rpm noise concerns me as I do not want to harm the engine, picked this thing up for a song and I cant carry a tune in a sack.
