this is one of those things that i learned on.
with my gasser background, when you develop a rod knock there is no mistaking it for a top end issue. you can clearly hear the rod knock.
what i was hearing was the piston slapping the head ever so lightly.
ive had lazy lifters, ive had vales hitting the pistons, and ive had fuel knock...
now i have had the pleasure if the sweet sound of the head and piston duet.
it sucks, but i knew the days were numbered going into it.
im gonna throw my spare block in and get it along until i can build the engine i wanted in this thing.
its just another machine.....
These engines stop in FOUR specific places. Cylinders 1 & 4 2 & 5 7 & 6 3 & 8 any pair goes to TDC when you shut down, that's why the engine stops so abruptly, there is a tremendous load on the two rods of the two cylinders that stop on TDC, they have to stop the rotation of the crank. That's possibly why the rod broke on shut down.
