    N/A vs Blown

    Ok guys as I rebuild the block I need to decide if I will go with a future blown application or stay N/A. I most likely will be rebuilding with the Stroker kit. Please give me your reasoning.

    After Head Swap, still a knocking sound - Bad Crank bearing?

    After Head Swap, still a knocking sound - Bad Crank bearing?

    Yea I know, double the work......that sucks I'm pretty sure its from down below. I will get underneath and listen. If it is and repair is needed, what should I do preventatively or to upgrade while I have everything apart.
