Found the noise in my engine

[mick]

I pulled my (Built) engine down today to look for the noise and found out the pistons were trying to get out. Luckily the heads were there to stop them. There is damage on tops of all pistons and the head areas where they were hitting This engine has 2000 miles on it. So they have been hitting since new

All 8 were hitting. You may not see it clearly there Simon but copy them into Pictures or somewhere and blow them up youll see the mess

2000 miles? where did the engine cum from or is it new truck from the dealer?

Its a built engine with all the works that cost me over 30k $US that we were hoping on over 1000 rwhp - LLY

Without measuring I wouldnt hazzard a guess Simon. To be honest I dont really care. Im pretty pissed at the whole deal at the moment. Money is one thing but all the countless hours of getting nowhere with this engine for the past 8 months has been taking its toll mentally. Lately Ive felt like giving the whole Diesel thing away. But I hope I dont.
