| Take copious notes of what you do so I can crib from you. :-) My car is at 155K and has dwindling compression in #6 along with a knock sound almost identical to yours. I've already got a "new" block on the bench and waiting to decide what to stuff in it. The coolant passage is cleared, the heads are already rebuilt, and the crank has been inspected - so all I need to do is pick out pistons, and start spending money. It won't be anything wild (400 hp at the crank?), but I want the headroom for extra power and not having to worry about walking home. On the wish list:
530bb turbos
Larger intake plumbing (thanks to Greg D's dyno chart posts a few weeks ago)
Selin dual intake
3" Expansion DPs
Port/polish plenums? Sitting on the shelf waiting for the above to materialize:
SZ modified Stillen IC's
300 Degree fuel rail w/740cc injectors
MSP manis Keep us posted on the progress and good luck! Dave
