so i posted a while back with a blown engine with a melted piston. it started and ran fine during the building and only recently gotten it on the road. now i have a knocking noise that im just not sure what its from. when its cold and i first start it i get the typical loud knocking and then goes away and its quiet and fine. but once it warms up it starts to knock.
i cant tell if its piston slap or maybe something else. i reused the original rod bearing as i could still read the text on it and it was not worn. im hoping its a lifter that just going bad. it also gets quieter at around 2500 rpm.
im thinking i may have to swap in the other engine and then have this rebuilt but i would like to hold off until summer.
