How many, have nursed a knocking Rod home?
when I first got Ginger she had a /6 in her that was on the way out
so I bought a junkyard 360, cleaned it up, repainted and put a small cam in it and dropped her in
(first engine sway I ever did that wasn't the same type engine as came out)
less then 1000 miles later the rod started knocking
no fancy stories about driving it home
I first heard it on my way to dennys and I recognized the sound right away
drove her home without and issue
diagnosed it as the opportunity to rebuild her as a 408 knocking
