well i was driving to a buddies house and heard this slight noise. kinda hard to explain. well as i kept driving the noise was getting louder and worse. so finally something came apart inside is my guess because it sounded like metal or something inside the motor rattling.

ive called hpe, lme, and icon. ive decided that all i really need is a short type shortblock. i dont really want forged internals anymore. plus they say a month to build a motor and i seriously dont have that kinda time since this is my daily driver.
