It was probably like "FML, I can't go on living like this."notice how it started knocking right after you screwed that dumbass "lip" on?
Well guys, stacked rod bearing on cylinder 4 , engine made it 708 miles since I put the head on it, looks like spare bottom going in this weekend, 0 mile engine should be stout af if the first hybrid motor was stout
From what can be seen of the head picture, the short block is worn out. Doing top end performance work on a worn out bottom end is pissing in the wind...
The way the thread reads is "I drove home a '86 in decent condition and pulled the head - LO and behold there was a chipped valve". As farked up as the valve is there ain't no way the cylinder fired which means it would have been limping along on 3 of 4 cylinders....burned out cat, the whole thing....
My vote - it's a $700 pile of shit ready for the crusher.
Meh I blame it on improper engine break in, I did throw the motor in and went straight on a trip for thanksgiving with no 4th gear, another life lesson, dont think im not dissapointed the engine assembled failed soo early
I replaced all the gaskets, and the main bearings, the rings, pistons/rods and wrist pins are factory (never removed the pistons) , with the .030 shaved zc head and cams on browntop electronics, it feels alot better than my old motor, im pretty positive the black top bottom end is higher comp than the brown top, the engine thats in the teg now was the one I was PLANNING on swapping into the 79
