So, because of everything that has happened recently with my motor, I finished pulling my motor out. I will post pictures tomorrow of why the garage looks like... It's kind of a mess, but for just pulling a motor, I honk that it doesn't look half bad.
Anywho, after pulling he head off I noticed that piston #3 is burning a little bit cleaner compared to the rest as there isn't as much carbon build up on the top. Also, there isn't a lot of piston slop (which I'm really happy about); and the valves look really good. I'm going to be taking the head to get cleaned and probably ported and polished. Tomorrow, kill be bolting the engine to my engine stand to start pulling it apart as really see where this faint knocking is coming from. And interestingly enough, when I bought the car it came with a set of con rod bearings and crank bearings; and the owner told me thy he would hear a faint knocking sound coming from somewhere, but didn't know where it was coming from. But when I first purchased the car the engine was a little noisy, but that we mainly because one of the rocker assembly bolts was loose and had a lot of valve lash because of it.
So now, I'm going to rebuild the motor as efficiently as possible as I don't want the car just string for a long time... Again.
More updates soon!
