Thank you for the feedback. A TRUE 50 thousand mile car, one owner, perfect compression and leakdown, old oil looked ok when we drained it, nothing in the strainer, engine had never been apart before, still has its colored vacuum lines. Dream come true for anyone (one would think). Took about 150 miles for the knock to start, so now the teardown to see exactly what happened. Sounds just like a rod knock to me, and the only thing that could have caused it in my opinion was the oil turning to acid

This is the #1 reason we rebuild our motors as part of every restoration. The #2 reason is that we don’t want to revisit a restoration after completion, we just want to enjoy them and forget about the years of challenge restoring them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
