Bummer Hank....but do not despair.....inspect 1st!
Once had a knock...rod NUT had fallen off..hitting cam lobe..drove me
nuts.....bent other rodbolt! I fished the nut out....vice gripped the cap back
together...re-torqued all rods...ran forever! in a dune buggy...constant 6000
rpm!
Yes it was a Newly rebuilt engine.....buggy had rolled and scared the
guy....so I took advantage of his weakened condition....gggg
Also have seen 2 new engines eat the 1st set of rod / main bearings, but 2nd
set lasted forever...
Matt.....grieving.....ggg
