Engine Clanking -WTF!!!

Thanks. There is still a squirter in #1, so it must be from one of the other cylinders. The other cylinders seemed to be fairly debris free though, like not much metal flakes/chunks got in them. I wonder if that thing has been broken off and laying in there for a long time...

Just one more reason I didn't bother with oil squirters in my 2.4 builds. They are so delicate from the factory, it's not uncommon for them to just snap off for no reason. If I do build another motor for something specific like the standing mile, I'll probably adapt some from the LS7 motors.

I'm here, feel free to stop by B-dawggy.

Steve, I'm going to stop by shortly I think. I found that the squirter was from the #2 cylinder, and I just got the rest of the squirter assembly out. So now I just need to locate someone with a spare oil squirter.

Just bought a barely used single Eagle rod off someone on the link forums for $75 shipped!

MAP is able to order me a new single Mahle piston. Just have to make sure I get the correct overbore size before I do it.

The other 3 pistons/rods are removed and they all look to be in good shape as far as I can tell.

I may be able to have this thing back up and running quicker than I thought :)

Awesome, I'm glad you're getting it squared away!

Will the piston be given away as a door prize at the cookout? :)
