^^^^Yeah, well I could live with that 140k before having problems. Not even 5 miles and shes probably toast. Are you sure you were not running low on oil, thats what normally causes bearing failure?

What I did, is on the back side, the side with out the marks on it. I used a fine file to flatten about 75% of the face. Then I sanded it down just like you would do with paint. But worked though the grades until the final sand was done with 4 micron "grit". Same process I use to prep all my...

Thanks IJ

So why would this happen? Someone must have assembled it poorly? It was sent to me fully built, (long block)

Nope, no change in sound with the dip stick out. Didn't run it, but used the breaker bar to move the crank, sounded the same.

Well, after trouble shooting today. (read more hear: Tech section help It does not look good for this motor. After 6 months of work, looks like I've got to pull it all apart. The motor is under warranty, but that means the same company that built this one would be building the replacement...

Ok, I went out and did some more trouble shooting today. I took the inspection plate off the trany to see if there was slop in the flywheel, nope, it moved right along with the crank, no slop. While I was doing this I could hear the clank, so I put it in gear. With the breaker bar I would...

Thanks Grim I'll have to check that tomorrow also. I used lock tight on the bolts. Is this a problem from it being an aluminum flywheel, needing to be heat cycled? (This is my first AL flywheel.)

Ok, I just pulled the valve covers off, and nothing was out of place. And there were no signs of scaring or dry running. All puck and shims looked good. With the covers off I turned it over by hand, I heard the noise on the first rotation (dry turn I guess) every time it would start to turn, i...

Ok I will see tomorrow, and thanks soooo much for all the help so far guys

Thanks man!

Ok here is the vid in Windows format. running with scissors

I can up load it as windows media if you would like.

Haha, I think it's too late. I will do all that and post what I find, thanks.

Yeah, I'm running the stock mani. And a stock ct. My plan was to get the motor broke in (not broke, haha :icon_conf ) and then start doing HP mods. The intake is a 3" 45* IC pipe cut down on the turbo side. It also had to be shortened about an inch at the AFM (I think with the AFM on there is...

Rod knock

Yeah, right now it's not looking good:cry:

Awesome, I bent my aluminum 3/8 line into the factory location. It was easier for me to put the new line in then it was to take the factory line out. Just a heads up, the aluminum 3/8 line would not fit in the factory clips, I had to take them all off and drill them out. (if thats what you...

Well I tried pushing the clutch in and revving it, no change. The crank pulley is torqued well into the 200s, my torque wrench goes up to 150, it clicked right away, so I used a breaker bar with pipe and torqued that as hard as I could. It's not the alt, the sound isn't coming from there...

Well last night I tightened everything I could get to. I even took off the PS belt just incase it was the pump :/ . Well no dice, still the same noise. I went around the engine with a stethoscope and could not pin point the sound. It did seem louder on the exhaust side of the engine, I could...
