Ok, so I up to 50-60miles on this last refresh (1900 total miles on motor), and everything was great.
Today I take it to a CC and again all good. I go to wal-mart and auto zone and notice a small puddle of oil under it...I think great, real main AGAIN!!! (but most likely porosity issue). My rear suspension, and squealing front break are now fixed tho!
So i get home to check it out a little further. I get under it and after a few seconds it diesels like something is hitting the back of the block.
The sound is totally random, sounds fine for 5 sec then diesel, 10 sec, then diesel...you get the idea. It sounds like either rod knock or flexplate coming loose.
The new motor has ALWAYS had an oil relocation setup, NEVER been to the track, and oil press never below 35. (50 at startup-40 warm typically). NO and I mean NO crap in the oil, it looks GREAT. Pressure hold great, makes great power, NO KR.
Honestly it sounds exactly like a flexplate with its inconsistant slapping...but its farther forward. I put a screw driver on the oil pan and I can feel the "hits" when it diesels, I cant feel anything but vibrations on the bellhousing.
ME=FUCKED???? And right after dropping a shit ton on the procharger.
UPDATE 5.12.12
Motor was pulled, and Flexplate bolts were in fact loose!
Oil leak issue was discovered, and now looking for a cap for the rear of the crank.
I did not pull the rods apart, but there is ZERO slop, and very smooth front to back slide on all rods/bearings.
Fuel system should be ordered Monday along with other remaining items for the Pro Charger install.
Should be road worthy within a few weeks, and then tuned.
