Re: don't come down on me too hard...

ok... the engine has a nasty knock to it... i can hear it now with exhaust on it...
i'm trying to go over everything that i need to make sure this thing is built right this time... i've got (so far) that i need an oil pump, new bearings(again), maybe a new crank, cyls honed and heads checked (i'll re-ring it and put new stem seals in it while out) anything else? i'm thinking i may get the block line honed to be sure it's straight and buy bigger bearings... should i deck the block/heads?... i'm gonna have the heads serviced too, but the machine shop wants like 1300 for all of that... i told him he was crazy...
