slammer302 2,156 #1 Posted July 23, 2013 Just bought a 308-8 the guy i bought it from said it was using sum oil so he had a new rod and piston put in it when they started it up it had a knock in it so they turned it off and never messed with it again. I took the oil pan off and took a look every thing looks right except were the rod connects to the crank looks like it has alot of side to side play would this make noise when running?

wheelhorse66 10 #3 Posted July 25, 2013 it shouldent sometimes after you rebuild an engine you have to let it get broke in so it is going to have a ticking sound untill it gets broke in good the best thing to do is run it a while and see if it stops Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
