The knocking is from a connecting rod or the valve is hitting the piston. Either way I'm looking at my options now. I probably wont be doing anything for a few months other than compile some parts. Basically it's come down to the following 3. New OEM Engine, Rebuild existing, or buy a built motor. Either way I am looking at 8k plus. I'm moving this weekend to Irvine, Ca(New job Finally!). So the plans to get Z on road are put on hold for now. Need to start saving and determine what my goal with this car is. She sits in a garage under a cover, you can try to steal her, but bring your own jumper cables unless you want to push it. Battery is dead. Even then you wont get far..
