Re: knocking sound
hahaha goodoleboy.<br /> either ya caint reads much no good orn ya aint a comprhenden what I wuz a sayin. I say paya attenshun to me boy. I sez that a two stroke wont wear out slowly and run werse and werse like a 4 stroker will. I ran an old chebby with a flat intake cam lobe for 3 yearns. a two stroke will wear a bit then selfdestruct, they are high performance precision machines. but they dont tolerate any out of spec tolerances be it fuel, timing, cooling water or airfuel and oil fuel ratio's., miss any of them a bit and its a smoker. I have seen cars detonate so bad they actually slowed down going up hills and run like that for years. a detonation problem like that on a modern 2 stroke and it will eat off the piston lands in short order. so I in no way said any motor would out last anyother. I know of shortlived 4 strokes as well as 2 strokes and a buddy of mine over at the J-D house stays busy with dem broke tractors

. we aint no maytags mans dats fo sur. all I was trying to point out is that if there is any motion in the rodbearing or wristpin area and you run it it will disentergrate and odds are will destroy the block and crank.<br /> good luck and keepem a postin
