    New motor knocking???

    I removed all the lifters, disassembled them, had to polish afew inner sleeves and then reinstalled.... put new intake gaskets on...I also used gasket sealer on the intake gaskets so I know for sure that's not the issue.... ran for a good hour in the drive way and it doesn't seem to be milking...

    New motor knocking???

    That's what I'm worried about.... I'm hoping it's coming from intake gaskets but the water I'm seeing is probably from me separating the intake.... I'm gonna reinstall and pressure test and we're gonna find out

    New motor knocking???

    I ended up pulling the intake last night... every lifter is collapsed. It looks like water could possibly be coming in from the intake gaskets... but im not sure how or why... there's absolutely nothing wrong with the gaskets. It almost looked like the angle the mating surfaces were machined at...

    New motor knocking???

    Just the port that supplies the distributor with oil. Everything was coming out of that and never came out of the rockers. I just had my wife check the oil pan and said the oils on the bottom and the same residue is on the top.... but doesn't see or feel any water

    New motor knocking???

    I will check for water coming from the plugs after work. When you removed the white stuff from the valve covers was it like a grease? The stuff coming off mine is like a lotion... almost identical to assembly lube is why I assumed that's what it was

    New motor knocking???

    Yes I did. I primed with a drill but I never did get oil up to rockers because it was coming out of distributor lube point(or at least I thought that's why) that's where im confused... with that oil pressure I should have all kinds of oil coming out no matter what it's in the oil

    New motor knocking???

    The only reason I don't see it coming from the manifolds is i never had any of this before putting this new motor in.. So I dropped the oil... this is it. 4 hours tops on this engine...I dont know if that's water or assembly lube making it like that but if it was water shouldn't I have...

    New motor knocking???

    Yes it does have oil... this motor literally only has a total maybe 4 hours of run time on it. Do you think a lifter would cause a knock like that without being damaged? Cause at this point I'm probably gonna just exercise my warranty. Im afraid if what's all damaged inside
