Hmmm, sounds bad...any vids of said noise, i haven't heard that obviously. I am guessing myself or lomker would've heard that if my car was making it.

Alex handed me your piston when I was helping with some other car, and I was like.."is that Dave's?!" wooaa dude. going over your motor today, in a SMALL way, made me feel SORT OF better about mine..it was well enough to race over to BK for lunch..lol.
I know the new build will be better then before.

I wouldn't have noticed since I'm not sure what 'normal' is for your car since it was my first time in it. Back when I had that UR fuel filter on my firewall it would make bizarre sounds...the 3port, a different set of injectors, motor mounts..they all make different sounds.
I remember when I first picked up my own car after the initial build and my only thought was 'damn that test pipe is loud'. Now I'm totally use to it.

Unless it was an oiling problem and it spun a rod bearing and didn't hear it and once the bearing was totally gone the rod stuck to the crank and beat the up the block.
Well unbolt the end of the rod that's left on there and see what it looks like, that would solve that mystery pretty quick, unless it was damaged when the rod snapped.

Just bought some new Buschur Center Diff pins to upgrade them in the tranny since it is out now anyway.

Small update:
The Buschur diff pins should arrive to my house today and I am going to bring them up to DB so they can get my tranny over to their guy and get those put in.
All of the components for my head have been ordered and will probably show up late this week, early next week I am guessing. The Manley springs/retainers are going to Supertech ones, because the GSC S2 cams that I got have too much lift for the Manley ones, the supertechs are only like 100 more or something.

wtf, the specs on the S2's aren't insane, how can the manley springs not work? on the 8/9 they're only slightly more aggressive than k272's, which work fine with stock springs. Maybe the dual mivec X cams have some crazy ramp rates or something?
*edit* ya, I see in their catalog it says max lift of .430" = 10.9mm....kinda silly imho. The evo8/9 springs are good for .580" = 14.7mm! How can they make such MANLY springs for the 4G63 and such PUSSY springs for the X?
