Re: Wasted time
Nice score! Congrats.
If you don’t like those wheels you can sell them and raise money for other stuff. The knock could be as simple as timing/octane. |

 Guy said it runs on 93 octane (prior info from original engine builder) and he too had a shop look at it saying it was a wrist pin knock. Really won't know till I yank it out and tear into it, just waiting to borrow an engine crane at the moment. |

Re: Wasted time
There ya go! From what you've said and shown it seems like a good one. It sounds like you're not too concerned about the knock, no matter what it is. You were lucky to have a reason to travel that far, among what we're dealing with these days. Now you have something to keep you busy at home.

Re: Wasted time
You got a solid truck and that’s great. If you got the $$, time, and patience there is nothing that cannot be fixed or replaced.
Keep us updated.
