() Date: September 11, 2016 07:48PM So I ruled out valvetrain as the source of my knocking. Since the noise has gotten progressively worse it has become easier to diagnose. I can now isolate it to cylinder #6. I had tried this same test about a month ago and there was no change but now it shows up clearly. I am thinking piston skirt slap or a wrist pin issue. Time to take the engine back out! <iframe width="560" height="315" src="[www.youtube.com]; frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Nick _______________________________________________________________________ 1964 Monza Spyder Convertible #435 - Rotisserie restored - SOLD ON BRING A TRAILER 4/30/2019 - Check out my restoration thread here: [corvaircenter.com] Thanks to all the awesome CCF, CF, COG, and CORSA members who helped me with the restoration!

It was probably on the tighter end of the clearance (I am assuming) and also I know for sure I was "testing" my turbo boost more than I should have with only 250 miles on the engine.

() Date: September 26, 2016 05:40PM Got away from work today and drove the Corvair up to Rocky Mountain National Park with my wife. First relatively long drive in the car, she ran beautifully. Returned home to find the underside bone dry and other than a noisy speedo cable all was perfect!
