Re: First motor start, terrible knocking

I had a valve get stuck in the guide once after an engine rebuild and waiting a few months to fire engine. The valve bent and hung open creating dead cylinder condition. Had to pull head and replace valve and the guide to remedy. check compression to see if a cylinder is way off from others.

Was the water pump replaced? Someone advised check ancillary components or remove them from equation when restarting engine.
