Well I got everything installed over spring break. Car started on the first crank and everything went amazing! She drove perfectly fine over the break-in period with only a few specs of glitter from the first 30 miles. The oil was super clean after the 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1000 mile oil changes. I've driven her to and from Duluth 4 times now. It is now reaching the 1800 mile mark and she started knocking yesterday. I've never opened her up besides a few quick bursts to 5k rpms which were after 1500 miles. The bearings that were used for the rebuild were ACL trimetals.

I'm going to change the oil this Saturday to see if there are metal shavings to confirm if it is the bearings. Good thing I have an extra set of ACL trimetals in the garage, any advice for changing the bearings from underneath the car?
