Hey guys I'm new here and I was wondering if this knock or whatever I'm hearing is common among blaster like I read everywhere or is it a sign of my crank crying
yes i plan on getting a gasket set and pulling the head/jug and checking play. but you mentioned piston clearance ?
where at like the height or the circular clearance.. and just saying its not as distinct as in the video
also if it is indeed the crank what is your suggestion on a 3mill crank no machining except for a spot or two not like the 4 mill stroker
Sounds like piston slap to me , piston loose in bore .You do not know the true history of the engine. Pull it down and check as other member here has advised..it hasnt idled in 6 years i have got it to idle and kick on the first start
