[QUOTE="Deceptive, post: 16635781, member: 118253"] Yes, however I was hoping this engine would be healthy. I am about to throw a blower on it. So, I noticed that knock/slap a few times on start up before the oil change. It was on 20W-50 for break in. I switched to 5W-30 and that noise while audible I. The video is not audible in the car. The sound never increases with RPM just a second or two at start up then gone. I am clueless as to what it could be. It has a Melling Timing Kit. Somebody said maybe tensioner. I am also having a bogging issue at times when you first get on it, almost like fuel cut. It doesn’t happen all the time but when it does fuel pressure drops to low 30s then quickly comes back up through the pull to upper 40s low 50s. I don’t know if it is a FRPS, pumps, or something else. I found the built rear isn’t so built. At least the axles are stock I don’t know about anything else. The Viking shocks in the rear are dead I think. Fun times. Lol! I do have about $10-12k in parts to throw at it so we will see what happens. “At least I didn’t get tased for not wearing a seatbelt.” - George Floyd [/QUOTE]
