Re: Engine Clanking -WTF!!!

Good news is that I don't think the block is trashed. The cylinder walls looked had no large gouges or anything of that sort. I'll be spending some time this week on the car, and removing the oil pan, and the rod/piston from that cylinder. Then I'll try to clean out that cylinder as best as I can, and get a better look at what condition that cylinder is in.

The head is screwed though, so if anyone has one laying around, let me know. I'll be reusing the Crower springs/retainers from this head, the cams, the rockers, and the 3g HLA's. The rest is just worth it's weight in aluminum I think.
