Yep, thanks to Dan and his pictures I had the courage to tear mine apart for the first, second, third, and fourth time = P

We aim to educate.

The thing about learning from the masters is knowing to not blink. I shut my eyes for half a second and my fuel rails were at Bill'* feet.

That'* why I stopped blinking.

You got lucky I didn't kick them.

Dan.. you still have hope and that'* good, let'* keep one thing in mind though as we discuss what this may/may not be.

FALSE KNOCK DOES NOT HURT BEARINGS, it only pulls timing/power. I'm really pushing that one into the bold etc because it'* a key point that we all can not lose sight of. False knock only hurts power output by pulling timing. It will and can not hurt a motor. In Dan'* case his motors are being hurt.

Dan.. I have a good HD precision TC if you need to buy one. I am wiling to sell for half price.

The bearings may have been caused by starting before fully priming the oil pump. This last build I cranked until the battery was low. And I put assembly lube in the pump. So those problems may not be related.

PM me about the TC. Still have a few things to take care of first.

I've seen too many guys put fire right to them from the beginning w/o cranking for prime to think that. Sure maybe once..not this many times though.

PM on way.

That break-in stand is looking more appealing everytime.

That'* at least two slaps I owe you for people, the next time I see you.

Hey I'm just saying with this knock mystery now. He could be switching cams, sensors, and what have you while trying to hunt down this knock.

Where'* the fun in that?
