well we have finnaly figured out what was wrong with the 44. it had a slipped rod bearing 3 from the drivers seat. we got it pulled off but it chewed up the crank a little. Im not sure if im gonna try to buy a new crank, get the old machined, or just put a new bearing in there and see how long it lasts.
i have a couple questions now though what is the ft/lbs torque needed for the head bolts and also for the rod bearing caps?
where is best place to get some push rods and also a set of rod bearings?
also has anyone ever had luck re-using head gasket we got it off purty good no big cracks or anything it has a small tear around one of the outer head bolts but not bad at all.
thanks to everyone that replied and helped me work through my problems just glad i finnaly found the culprit now just ahve to start re-assembling
