Default Need Help With Engine Noise
I have a strange noise coming from low down in my LT4. Sounds like a box of marbles being rattled. Any ideas?




































Looking forward to the 2011 Shootout!

I think that I may have found the limits of the wrist pins!

I don't see the big deal, the 2 pistons are fly cut now so ptv clearance should be a non-issue

Huh. So the rods are intact, the wrist pins broke and the pistons didn't break at the pin holes either?
