A little confused...
If you have a rod knock, nothing you do will solve the issue short of replacing the crankshaft and bearings.
This means pulling the engine out and apart.
Depending on how many miles on the engine, it will almost surely need to be bored for replacement pistons.
I have rebuilt many of these lumps, and have found all of them have a ridge at the top of the cylinder bore.
I am currently rebuilding one and have to sleeve the block since it was previously bored to .060
The top of the cylinders had a huge ridge in them.
Believe it or not... these engines are becoming harder to find in upull yards.
I'm starting a thread soon describing a custom rebuild on this engine.
