Heh... Well Bill went and bought what was SUPPOSED to be a good running engine.... Just so he could put it in the car and enjoy the car a bit while he looks for another block setup to start fresh with the forged stuff.
So we pulled the forged engine and swapped over the head and intake and exhaust and turbo stuff etc to the block of the engine he bought. Put it in and it started right up. Then KNOCKED. :nono:
Sooooo needless to say that freaking sucks. HOWEVER... on a sidenote...we pulled the rod caps off and checked the bearings of the forged engine...and the bearings look FINE. So we are pretty damn sure now that the "knock" WAS infact a bad case of piston slap because of the large piston to bore clearance.
So dont know if Bill is gonna drive the knocked engine thats in the car until it blows up lol...just because (for the record the t66 at only about 11psi felt pretty damn nice when we drove the car.... :biglaugh
. Or if hes going to pull it back out and bring it the guy who he bought it from and get his money back since the guy said if he didnt work he could bring it back.
Either way another engine another non running properly supra.... BUT like i said at least we seem to have figured out what the "knocking" noise in the forged was.
Bill will add more if there is anything lol.
