Hey guys,
Pretty much ****ting my pants right now - Just started the rebuilt 4.0 and it has a loud knock that seems like its coming from the bottom end - sounds to me like a single rod not like the whole motor is knocking back and forth. Engine Idles smooth as butter, well for having a 410 cam. No dummy oil light telling me I have no oil/ no oil pressure. Idles perfect except for this noise. Does it really take that long to build solid oil pressure? Is it possible there is a lifter not pumped up that's making this noise? I swear I can hear it from the back end of the motor laying below the oil pan.
-410 Cam
-Smithbros pushrods
-Rebuilt stock Lifters by professional rebuilder
- Plastigauged all bottom end bearings, all direct middle of spec they belong in, and installed sealed power bearings.
- New Sealed Power Chromoly rings
- Si Valves
- New recast heads
