Kind of hard to separate mileage vs emissions don't you think? If one is bad, chances are the other is too. ![]() |

You can get all the lifters out and test their bounce in about 30 minutes. Yesterday I removed all my lifters, put new ones in, and went for a test drive all on my hour lunch at work. |

Update... My engine is totally apart and the block and head are at the machine shop and should be done next week. I went ahead and bought an engine rebuild kit off eBay for $234 including .020 over pistons, rod and main bearings, oil pumb, and water pump. Quality looks good now I will just have to see how it holds up to use. I did not have a broken piston skirt! I have no idea what the noise was. Maybe there was to much play between the piston and the cylider wall. I measured a .007 out of round difference on cylider walls. I will keep you posted. |
