Oh the horror, what happened to my 340...

Went to fire up the Dart today and was greeted with the stomach turning sound of cans banging around in the engine. It's out of the blue.


It normally sounds like this.


Not sure what happened yet.

Remove the plugs and read them for signs of damage or dare I say coolant.
While the plugs are out remove the valve covers and kill the ignition, crank the engine over and visually check the top end for proper operation.
Cut the oil filter open and check for metal.
