    pulled off the head

    pulled the oil pans , front cover ,....basically a bare block...

    after i pulled the pan i found this little metal tooth that chipped off from the front cover in the oil...theres 2 little teeth at the bottom of the cover , could this be the knocking?


    pulled the upper pan , from what i can SEE the bearings look fine....theres no play in the rods and caps so wtf?

    i just tore apart the entire bottom end...looks to me like one of the rod cap nuts was loose....the rod cap itself was halfway closed...all the bearings look fine.

    you put in ACL bearings right? lolol

    might as well throw some ARP rod bolts on there this time around they aren't that expensive

    also, when you put the head bcak on did you adjust the valves again that coulda been the ticking... if it was top end tick lol instead of the knock.

    but yeah good to hear that its solved and no joke i dont remember meeting you ( i have a bad memory) Sammy?

    lmfao, see the thing was..............................if it was too tight then the motor wouldnt spin freely...2nd time around i torqued them down and worried about the motor spinning freely afterwards...you live and you learn , then get Luvs.

    if this was the case the bearing clearance was to tight.. not a torque issue lol. i didnt mean to come across so harsh its just something thats a mandatory thing!

    yeah man it was my first build and i totally accept the mistake...but it runs good now...

    except for the HLA's having air in them from the head being turned upside down n shit...

    it will need a starter ( I think) because it starts up with a full charge of battery but no less...

    does anyone know if the SOHC internals will work with the sr's starter housing
