I recently performed a top end rebuild on my engine with:
At about 150 miles I started to hear a knock at idle, sounded like it was coming from #2. The sound seemed to be some what reduced when the plug wire was disconnected. At 200 miles I decided to do some more investigation; during oil change I noticed that there was a sludge / silvery substance on the oil strainer plate and decided to tear it down, thinking that there was a problem with a rod bearing. The first thing I noticed was some rubbing on the #4 exhaust push rod. I removed the heads and noticed that there was cylinder scoring on the tops and bottoms, remove the cylinders and saw the tops and bottom were worn... this must be the source of the silvery sludge. Attached are some pictures. No what do I do? Any advice would be greatly appreciated... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Dan Attached image(s)
