And kicked RIGHT IN THE BALLS.  :evil:

Somewhere between 800km & 1028km, she developed piston slap, blowby, and rod knock.  

Anyone want a 6bolt block to punch 40 over? *sigh*

Now onto my 3rd engine.  New(er) 6bolt block looks to be in good condition ... will try my hand with this one.

On the bright side, my knowledge of rebuilding these engines is gettin better :)

Lousy F-in deal bud...

What Kevin said, did the teardown reveal the cause of the problem?
