What happened to the motor to cause it to knock?

 

Im waiting for that answer. I went out for a little drive a few nights ago and got on it and at WOT when it shifted into 3rd(6k+rpms) it started knocking like a bitch. The higher the rpms the faster the knock. Get a quarter and knock on a wooden desk with it and we will say that times 4 or 5 and that is what I got.

 

Did ya see this man?

Damn it man! Looks like Today was meant to be a shitty day for you and me and our LS1's. And both of our problems are bottom end!

 

just out of curiousity tigerfan.......how long did that LS1 sit before you bought it? was it in an engine back or just in the box you pictured it in? it looked like it was stored with the oil pan off of it also.

 

It was sitting just like you saw it. It had been out for a number of months. Im not going to get the verdict untill hopefully tomorrow. Im ready to see what Im going to be purchasing!

 

Dang man, that just is not right! Crossed fingers and toes for ya..

 

that sucks...

 

Mike, did Brad ever say what was wrong with it?????????

 

He has been really really busy this week and I know he has to of been because in the past he had answer within a dayand a half. He is in the process of taking a part the block and he has a good feeling that it is a spun bearing. There was no metal shavings when the oil was drained and that is obviously good. Hopefully meaning that the crank can just be polished. Its a **** deal but it looks like I might get out of this for a somewhat cheaper than I thought! Ill keep you posted!
