Owner of a 1994 f-150 i’m considering buying for super cheap sent me a video of the truck starting up and giving a few revs. He says the motor is a 302 5.0. I can hear from when he starts the car and revvs it, it sounds like there’s a bit of a knocking or rattling noise as you can hear from the video. Would you all steer clear of this? He said it runs and drives. Does this sound like a lifter, rod knock, exhaust leak, etc. thanks
