This is awesome, I finally get the car done after a year. I bought a used short block and took my head and got her all up and running.
It wasn't running a hour total and I drove it maybe 3 miles. I come back and no problems. I turn it on for a friend and get this hideous really loud sand paper noise. I rev it up again and the higher the rev the louder the noise... we're talking seriously loud sandpaper type noise which sounds like it's coming from the block. No noise at idle. I check and there's no oil (4 qt's in an hour with no smoke?). I put new oil in and it's doing the same thing..
I pulled the pan and dont have any shavings. I haven't pulled the rod caps off, what are the torqe specs to put em back on? What should I look for? I checked my chiltons and couldn't tell how to know if you spin a bearing?!? I'll check for scoring too.
