400 sbc knock
I recently tore motor down to check all internals all looked good replaced all bearings and put it all back together. I primed it up 40pounds to back of block but never got oil to rocker arms but was in valley. I crunk it this week for the first time and fired right up still have to adjust the valves a little. so I got it to idle so I could start adjusting everything but I heard a knock from the bottom end and I still wasn't getting oil to rocker arms. when it was running the first couple of times it sounded good nothing wrong besides a few rockers ticking where they needed to be adjusted. but last night it just started a knock sounded like from the bottom end and it only has been run 4 times no more than five minutes. i don't want to tear all the way apart just wondering if anyone had any ideas
Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
