So I finally got this thing started up and running, and there's a knock on the passengers side; took it back down, rods weren't bent(going to replace them anyways), lifters not collapsed, valves straight and not bent, turned it over while looking in the inspection slots at the crank and the lifter bearings seem to be all riding fine......


Any idea what the knock could be?

 

Is this the same vehicle? Story seems to have changed. I'm sorry but I have found enough strange comments in these previous posts that it casts doubt on what exactly has been done to this engine, not to mention your ability to judge wear on the distributor gear. Seems like a waste of my time. I'm out.

 

Actually this was a while back and ended up needing the head re-surfaced, now it's running but getting that p0300

 

P.S.
This post was a year ago, things progress

 

Lets keep it friendly. This post is a year old.
