    Loud Knock After Replacing Intake Manifold

    Sorry for the delay in posting. I believe I found the culprit (what's left of my razor scrapper nut) in cylinder 6 (see attached photo). Top of piston looks pitted but not destroyed (see attached photo). Cylinder walls and valves look unscathed as well. I am hoping I do not have to replace...

    Will absolutely let everyone know. Going to finish up some other things first like Dakota Digital instrument cluster and Painless wiring harness (items started before changing out the intake manifold). If anyone is close to Melbourne Florida and wants to help diagnose - would welcome a visit.

    Backfire happened right after starting engine and giving it a bit of gas. My wife stared the engine and I watched the flex plate rotate with engine running and it looked like a a nice smooth disc rotating. Sounds smooth starting. If cracked wouldn’t it be a bit wobbly? Also check cylinder...

    Already drained oil and changed filter. Oil looked good, no glitter. Will check flex plate and starter, but when cranking with coil wire pulled to check lifter operation, engine sounded smooth while cranking. Take a listen…

    Checked wires and they are correct. Would a bad wire have the same effect?

    I did pull the valve covers and cranked the engine over and all rocker arms and push rods appeared to be operating normally.
