Re: Sympathy pains for Old Henry

I did find this condition strange. The big end of the rod to crank clearances were the same for all cylinders. Just that one rod rocked about 1/4". The wrist pin bushing obviously failed. That allowed the piston to slap in line with the wrist pin. This piston did not collapse. All 6 were re-sized and are back in the engine. This engine ran fairly well until the knock showed up. It did need a valve job. I put about 50 miles on it today to start breaking it in. It runs a ton better than on the Maine tour or the two Florida bashes that it has been to. I did dial in too much timing advance. That caused a hot start problem and I have an exhaust leak to address. Otherwise all is good.
