Alright I understand these cars don't have the quietest, smoothest runnning engines made, but does this doesn't sound right to me. There is a knocking sound at startup until she's warmed up. Then it smooths out, not completely though still can hear the knock.
The engine builder, who builds racing type IV engines says that the noise is typical with big bore type IV engines. Here is a link to a video, what do you guys think? video http://www.narino.com/images/914-knocking.wmv Here is what the engine currently has inside it: (originally a 1.7) 103 mm x 78 Stroke 2.0 H beam 5.325 (? no idea what this is was on the paper) G - Cam 44 x 38 Heads Thanks in advance!

$650 is probably a deal to have the work done, considering he is going to have to re-balance, redo deck height and maybe even redo pushrod geometry.
