I'm investigating The Common Knocking noise(which on mine was a constant Loud knock...i doubt it is a bent rod...i was thinkin that is was a rod bearing)...I am Sure it is not the valves but The engine needs a rebuild anyways.
here are some pictures of the head i got off today
Piston 1 and 2
Piston 3 and 4
Piston 5 and 6
Clean up
Yeah it's coming along great The head gasket was in bad shape but at least solid when i took it off...The piston walls were not scorned but a noticed that all the pistons looked like they have had fuel in them(Carbon build up ETC.) except the third which was dry and Clean... no build up...Weird...Plus there were 2 or 3 valves that were White and looked almost burnt or something...real rough but there looked to be no bent/chipped valves....
anyways any info could help
