just had my motor rebuilt ,bored .20 over and a whole bunch of other work done .last night I went for a cruise and then came the knock only 80 km on it ,the only thing I can figure went wrong is when I had my rods resized because of the arp bolts that the machine shop screwed up .running 15psi with a 20g trubonetics :cry:
 
not properly breaking in new bolts or any other part for that matter can be hazardous.
wondering how they screwed them up
 
:mad:took the block apart ,and #3 piston spun a bearing and # 2 was just about to go ,had two different machine shops check for clearance on the rods and all was ok .only other thing that my have caused it is ,a poorly manufactured rod bearing .oh and by the way the bearings came from topline performance .
