Just re-assembled engine, bad tick from PTO side!?!?

Oh man, this turned out to be a disaster. Looks like I need a new head, some valves, gaskets, etc.

Gross.

What happened was it the bottom end bearings or was the ticking sound valves hitting the piston? Give us all the Autopsy analysis on this disaster.

I am too embarrased to talk about it!

The LC pistons were in there..... backwards!!!

Hey Jack_shaft,

Don't be, you can only learn from your mistakes and
so can others.

Hope it did'nt cost you to much.

Well, it wasn't me personally, but I should have been there to give a solid second opinion when the engine went back together. GD Valentine's Day!!

We'll see the $ damage when I get back in town on Sunday.
