    Pissing me off

    Ok so iv re done my crank again as bearings went.. Jus run it up again and bled the water..

    Got a hollow kind of noise now.. iv done a a vid il upload to photobucket or something so you can listen...

    And with the new recon oil pump im only getting just over 1bar on my stack gauge.. ??

    Something just doesnt seem right iv got that feeling.. Im never gonna have luck! and with shows coming up dont think il make it if it is another problem.. Starting to have enough of it all just money and stress!!

    If it is piston slap then leave the engine in. But before doing anything, get someone in the know to have a butchers at it for you, I mean live. Where are you at? The worst thing you can do now, is keep guessing. get some proper help in and you'll soon start to feel better.

    Hard to hear it on my phone but I think I can hear what you're on about. Try to pinpoint exactly where the noise is coming from wether its from the block or the head and roughly what cyl or side etc if its not internal with a mechanics steth or a screwdriver or piece of pipe whatever. If it is piston slap it can all be sorted with engine in.

    I think if u disconnect the plug leads(one by one) when its running the noise might lessen or disappear
