I know you've mentioned money is a little tight, but it may end up costing you more in the long run.

I'll have to wait and see. I want too, don't get me wrong, it'd be good if I could buy a short motor without rods, lol. I wish there was something between a standard short motor and an atomic one! Maybe there is a market there that atomic can corner, hint hint wink wink Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/64317-knocking-from-engine/page/7/#findComment-981178 Share on other sites More sharing options...
