The owner is looking for another engine so he can pull and hopefully rebuild this one as a performance engine. I wish him the best of luck. They wanted to do a compression test on it but after I felt how hard the crank was to turn by hand I told them there was no reason. The engine has not been run after they had to demonstrate the knock and the crank still rotates so mabey there is a chance of saving her.
Thanks for the help, searching your fourms has been helpful. I probably wont be posting much after this... that is until the other engine install goes terriably wrong
.
Later
