When we last left poor Joe and his 64 Classic with the noisy engine, several listers had given him good suggestions of what to do next. Tonight I had time to pull the valve cover and observe that all of the push rods were in place and the valve train looked normal. I turned the engine over with my remote starter switch first and did not hear the noise in the bottom of the engine, so I turned on the ignition and started it. There appears to be no oil getting to the valve train and of course the valve clattering did not subside. The oil pressure idiot light did go out when the engine started. I then drained the oil and plan to pull the oil pan next to inspect the oil pickup and oil pump. I hope to get a resolution on this problem on Saturday.
