Once again.......KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
Well, i have once again managed to make another motor knock like no other. This time with only 1500 miles on it and one track day. In fact, the car just got legal 2 weeks ago and said good morning to me yesterday with a very distinct lower end knock.
I am hoping the guy who built the engine will do something for me. I mean, 1500 miles? Anyways, if my convo with him does not go well, i will be parting it.
I will post back after the phone call to let everyone have first dibs on any parts they may want.

the 97 or the 91? did you run the motor low on oil or something? Did you build it yourself or have the machinist build it?

Well, the oil level is fine. I have like 0 oil pressure now though. It was assembled by a well known builder in Indiana.
I have no clue what happened actually. It is being ripped out and taken to him this week.
