Morepower I was just woundering where you got your carb from I will be replacing that soon as well. If it is a valve knock I will for sure  be taking your suggestion to take them to clay smith if it is a valve knock instead of a rod.

As for gas tanks is summit also a good place or is there a better place to look
I had an olds an sucked a valve as I mentioned in earlier post and it made a mad tap/knock. Pull your valve covers and look to see which isnt moving.

I had an olds an sucked a valve as I mentioned in earlier post and it made a mad tap/knock. Pull your valve covers and look to see which isnt moving.

So before I pull the whole motor I should crank it over with plugs disconnected and covers removed? Or is there thee another way of doing it?

Saturday can't come fast enough. Going to pull logs and check all the lines as well. Any suggestions on plugs filter and oil to use next?

Look at all your valve stems with covers off. If its a sucked valve, it will be pretty obvious( it will be lower and will not move).  If thats your problem...pull the head with a quick valve job...back on the water if your piston isnt to bad(mine was okay/real light surface marks). Napa gold or wix filter an 20/50 vr1 racing. Its been awhile on plug reference but a stock type plug at 35/37 gap.

So the bearing is shot crank groves all in it. The holes for the oil where not inline. So now the crank has to come out.

The person who built this motor knows they messed up and doesn't want to cover the cost to fix it. Made me a better mechanic and I learned a lot. Be nice if he stand begin his work and cover the cost of repairs.

So now it's order new pistons want to replace the old ones since it's open. get the crank machined new bearings so suggestions would be awesome maybe do roller rockers so I'm open to options

How do the cylinder walls look? Bummer about the bearings and crank.

Same exact thing happened to my olds last year. What's your budget to get that baby back together?

Here's a pic of my bearings and rods, this was also on a "fresh rebuild".

Stay positive brother, I'll start getting a list together of everything I did with mine from ground up.

Piston walls are perfect guess I caught it early enough.i don't want to go to crazy but since I'm this far in minus well do it right. I might just have to do transom headers since the logs are completely out.

It sucks it happen but now I can say I built it and that means a lot to me. Check it off the want to do list.

Appreciate all the info you could give morepower

No worries man. I was in the same boat (pun intended) learned more about AMERICAN history building my olds then in high school lol.
That block needs to go Into the shop, as well as the heads. I will gladly help you out as much as possible man! Cam still good? Also, where is the motor at?

It's way out in Lancaster at my buddies. Why do you say the heads and block need to go in?

Havnt pulled the crank or cam yet just got home about 20 mins ago it's a 2 hour drive out into the desert but it's awesome.
