Thanks again for the replies, everyone. I found this video I first took when I picked her up. Now paying better attention to it, it does sound like there is a faint rod knock but didn’t know any better back then. I’m starting to really think it is internal in the engine. I will have to take...
Yes, I was thinking with me adding the STP oil treatment helping to keep the engine running instead of that noise stopping the engine makes me think it is internal. Or, whatever that is snagging in the flywheel area (ie a bolt head, etc) just cut through enough that it was allowing the engine to...
Also, I just now paid closer attention to this vid that I took the first time when I took the outdrive out, you could hear that sound is somewhat the same just a bit faint cause it was when the plugs were out. Is it possible that I should look into the flywheel/coupler area more closely first...
No matter how tight I get the belt, I couldn’t get the engine to turn over with the alternator bolt. My question at this state where the engine is (see pic), would it spew oil all over if I try to use the starter to crank it?
Got the distributor out and it seems ok but not sure if there’s anything specific I need to look for
Below is the hole showing the brass bushing and it also looks ok.

I’m not sure how to do this because the engine mount is in the way of the crankshaft pulley. Please let me know if there is another way to do this. Thank you.
Yes, you may be able to notice the belt is just there not moving.
I was able to keep it running now after adding some STP oil treatment but the squeal/noise is still there. but now it doesn’t cut out on it own.
I know. This was supposed to be the first summer we were going to have full use of it after picking it up late last year. Our first trip this year and then this…
I hope there is someone that can help. I really can’t afford $1-2k of additional expense.
