Knock knock kaput
Don't you just love these engines, at least i do mine.
So as per thread title the dreaded knocking sound has come to visit me yet again.
Usual story 2500 ish revs and it's like the landlord is at the door after his rent
Seems no matter what i do with this car it's determined to f;uck with me.
Ah well as they say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger

It's forged.
Wiseco pistons
Eagle rods
Acl bearings
Up rated oil pump
New valve stem oil seals
Arp head studs
steel gasket
vf 34
Simtec and remap 6 weeks ago with a very conservative map to avoid this happening
And the first time i give it some beans fizz pop bang
10k miles since rebuild but it was 4yrs ago not been driven much as i've spent most of that time out of the country, thought i'd bring it over for the summer and enjoy it for a bit, wished id have kept the 2k i spent on it prior and left it at home now

That's harsh mate, so even with ACL bearings etc there's no getting away from it, makes me want to stick mine on the mantel piece as an ornament What's the plan now then, more goodies or just replace the crank?

Think i'm just going to get it back to england and stick it in the garage for a few months and then do it myself with a bit of help from my tuners, who i'm sure will do me lots of favours, if only to keep me out of their hair, i'll threaten them with coming to see them every day, that should do the trick they have been really good with me so i'm not worried.
So it looks like a busy winter for me in the garage, the mrs is going to love that, when i grow some and tell her whats happened, not looking forward to that conversation, she already hates the car and the amount of money iv'e spent on it.
Sure she'll be pleased i spent some money on european break down cover though

To be honest i think it's to do with the fact it's spent most of the last 4yrs sat in my garage only being started once every 2 months or so, and now i drove it over here 1500 miles then iv'e done about 5/6 hundred taking my time and getting used to the car again,and iv'e just been unlucky.
Again.
