Well, I am starting to get the feeling it may either be cam & lifters or maybe rod bearings. I really hope not, being disabled limits finances greatly. But I do know it is not a flex plate as I had all the seals in tranny replaced and the flex plate was fine. In any case, I think it is not going to be something small or easy to fix. I am still hoping for a miracle revelation to be the answer but not getting my hopes up.
