Are you shipping to Colorado yet?

Anyone hook up am Amp so they can play tunes? I have mine almost done but there's a ton of noise. So I'll need to figure that out. Was wondering if any of you had already done it.

None taken! Thanks for jumping in and saving me! Hahaha

Makes sense. I've been sourcing parts to build a new engine and my builder saw and reached out. I think he's going to take a look and also tune it for me. Pretty pleased he reached out. The tune on this is basically nonexistent (basic setup in ecmlink is done as far as injectors and such...

I don't want to lose sight on the issue, but if it's piston slap, what can I salvage from this block?Crank? Rods? I'd assume pistons and block would need replaced.

It is the stroker. Didn't build it myself. Built by a user on here. Noise stops when engine is warm.

Son of a. That's what I was worried about. It's basically always been there. This engine has maybe 5 miles on it and some idle time. Built a couple years ago, but never ran it. I have a picture from when I took the head off that shows some uneven wear marks in the cylinder. You can...

Balance shafts deleted.

Since you guys helped me so much on my last engine noise. How about this one. Sounds almost like a diesel at low RPMs and would die if i don't give it gas, before it warms to idle. Is fine over 1k rpms and when warm.

To close this out as solved. It was the torque converter/flex plate bolts. Will need some thread locker on it. I'll be posting my next issue shortly! Haha. Last one to solve and I'll be super happy.

Checked coils and spark plug wires. No damage at all. Checked starter, good. All grounds were in good shape.The noise wasn't the bolts rubbing anything but the flex plate hitting the bolts, or so I hypothesize.

Yeah, it's out. Doesn't hurt to check.

I'll be replacing them all. This kiggly 1g engine in a 2g setup is nice, but the flexplate bolt debate is complex. Think I found some that may work though.

Quick update. Pulled the starter, looks to be in good condition. (It was brand new) no harm in checking. I did find the flex plate to be loose. Like all the bolts came out half a turn (for convo sake) and the flex plate will wiggle back and forth and hit the bolts (making a metal on...
