Well naother thread was in domestics nad didn,t really explain enough…i had a bad knock about 2 weeks ago in my motor. I took it upon myself to rip the motor out and try this myself. I have had help from some people htough too and i thank you guys. I took the old motor apart with help from mac and discovered the main and rod bearings were scorched purplish/blackish, now this might be a pump failure, don,t know. Well i bought a used motor for pretty cheap with 52,066 on it so i decided to throw in a cam,springs,PEM’S and a few old mods while it was out. So here are a few pics so far.
