Subject:      87 van 2.1 a/t w/no motor x 1 yr with intermittent wrap
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

My van sits in the winter and I start it up 1-2x/month and run it.  The past 2-3 times it develops a wrpa on l side of motor that sound like a bearing wrap.  However, when it warms and I shut the motor off it goes away?

Sticking lifter?

Anybody know what this is and how to prevent it?

Jeff
