Yes its unhooked and that's what I thought it was so i rebuilt the pump with the master rebuild kit since i sucked gravel into the pump but it was all fine but rebuilt it anyway to be sure.
Its completely disconnected from the coupler now and is still there.
160 psi on all cylinders and the top end is all good.
Dampner has not spun because t.d.c. still lines up perfectly.
Somethings making it dance around........... My cam is not that freakin big...
The intake had been leaking water into the intake ports being it had a rusted looking trail going into a few cylinders so im assuming it might have drawn in enough to cause a problem when it tried to compress. However it did not stall the motor or make any obvious signs of it, being as the higher the rpms the more water pump the pump moves it would have let the most water in at max rpms it might not have shown as much as if it were at idle taking that much in.
Hoping for as a last ditch effort to replace a few plug wires but thats highly unlikely since they are new with very little run time.
Is it a vibration or more of a shake? Reason I ask is, if it was a vibration... it would be really weird that it would go out of balance all of a sudden... I mean unless you have a knocking noise like a bearing or something... or perhaps lost the weight on the flex plate if it is a 1979 and later 460... Crankshafts themselves do not go out of balance. If it was more of a shake... you may have something more along the lines of a misfire and that causing it to shake, rattle, and roll.
Did you change flex plates or balancer spacer before this vibration occurred? There are internal and external flywheels/flexplates and counterweighted and non counterweighted balancer spacers... their use depends on what year crankshaft you have (early or late).
