Thanks YO...well turns out the guys sending my crank messed up with the order so they are going to send me a stock crank no bore with all bearings!!!!!!..YAY....from some warehouse in NJ...should be here by Monday or Tuesday...
Knocking noise investigation/engine rebuild
- Thread starter BlackDynamite
- Start date
WOOO got my crank in...Also took my head to the shop to be resurfaced and cleaned...Pics by tonight...
ALRIGHTY BOYS AND GIRLS...I"M IN BUSINESS...got everything!Well now i need a new rod...and piston rings....and head gasket....DOH...ok well it's a start...lol
Check it YO!
My oil Pan after being cleaned, buffed, rust converted(only a small quarter size surface rust) and some high temp, hardcore black paint
My crank shaft tucked away in a box(costed me 350$ for a standard crank with bearings)
Didn't see 6 or 7m on crank though i saw this weird marking
All Brand new bearing WITH the crank
Company i got it from
Complete Gasket kit!
More pics the next few days...!

Thanks for all the pictures! I'll probably use this write-up to my advantage since I'm a bit more book-smart than hand-smart, if you know what I mean.
Keep at it. There's NOTHING wrong with my engine, per se, but a rebuild with mild NA modifications would be nice.

YYYEEAAAHHH...too bad i'm not going to be able to use that one in there...i might be able to sell it i guess...i dunno keep it as back up for my other engine i'm getting....I'm getting my head milled down like the block so i'll prolly keep the greddy metal 1.5mm and get higher compression 
Higher compression can work against you in a very bad way.
Your'e playing with the most fragile area of the engine.
Just a thought.
Are you speaking of the hg only??
You should be able to sift through that and use a lot of it.

I wouldn't use the top line gasket man. The 1.5mm you purchased is far superior.
Good Luck with wich ever you choose.
I'm going to have to look in my set. I hope my exhaust manifold gasket is like yours, and not just graphite and paper or whatever the heck they make these things out of.
Edit: Yep. Mine is exactlly the same.

well i havnt bought it yet and plus i'm not going to use the top line....lol...my head and block have been Shaved down so YEAH...i'm def going with a more dependable head gasket and thicker metal head gasket...DURRRR....lol
I'm still trying to figure out what kind of crank i bought....7m or 6m...or something TOTALLY different...don't know what the symbol means....Anyone know?
OHHH ok now i seee!!!! i was like one on every "throw"????...but then i looked at it and saw it....gosh i can be stupid/add sometimes....lol
ok i do indeed have a 7m!...Is there any pro's and con's to 6m vs 7m? which one is more reliable?
7M is heavier but smoother across the rev range
6M spins up quicker but is a little harsh by comparison.
I had the above pair of cranks in the same motor on back to back builds with the only change being the cranks so feel qualified to comment.
The 7M will give better service life for the bearings but will be a touch sluggish down low or under acceleration.
Enter "the solution"
There aren't too many issues that can't be solved in a 7M by chucking insane amounts of $$$ at it! (Lightened 7M crank)

Insane amounts of money indeed.
Wait a minute...., did we agree on something. I'm kidding Ij.
Thanks for helping here. I like that light crank. It's less filling and tastes great.
What's up figit. How's your ride running?
