            say wha?
            Give a man a fish and he will be fed for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will promptly forget that he once did not know, and proceed to call anyone who asks, a n00b and flame them on the boards for being stupid.

                  So is the consensus that the motor was fucked even before the swap went underway?

                      Most likely. Nothing he did was even in the vicinity of the bottom end. That skirt could have broken off years ago and been clunking around ever since. I'm surprised it never made any noises. I'd expect a lot of piston slap without the skirt there.

                        I had two of 'em sitting in the bottom of my pan when I tore down my '89 for the P swap.

                        Time for a new motor. Sucks, but it's part of the game. Good luck on moving forward man.
