Just came back. Ken with the Mustang has a really funky noise coming from the top front of the 302. Hard to explain, almost like a rocker hitting the VC, but not that. Borescope no seats fell out, compression check was great. Hope like hell it is not a rod or wrist pin. He has around 4K in this motor he bought and rebuilt. He got screwed on the core, needed almost everything. 302 SB it was supposed to be. Had a 289 crank and pistons in it, two cracked heads etc etc. Noticed the harmonic balancer is not lining up to the pointer, neither of us know if a 289 and a 302 take the same one and is balanced the same. Top it off the rods are different, they were looked at by the machine shop for straightness, but are they 302 or 289. Feel bad for him. But WTF is going on? No shavings in the filter....yet. Strange one. Did meet up with the guy from NY on the caps. Remembered I used to be a asshole when I lived there also. Fun Fun Fun
