RE: Loud Engine noise
all good 
Well hopefully, and i say hopefully meaninga "better situation," its the cam, valves, or timing chain rubbing on something. If its those then it will be an easy fix with taking off the valve cover. I think it may be a rod bearing though...only way that happens is the timing wasnt setup properly when the engine was put back together or oil starvation. I didnt get low oil pressure until the loud noise in the engine so we can rule out oil starvation.It may have been off a bit and after being tuned, it decided to finally snap.
Had to roll it onto a trailer.
and it was towed by a friends dodge [:@]
Its tuned for 12lbs right now so once its fixed i can finally play with her!
