    Sounds to me like the heads were not torqued down.

    Update as of a week ago. Engine apart at rebuilders, found gudgeon pin had moved enough to hit bore, that was knocking noise, would explain plug foul up and smoke. Looks like rings didn't bed in properly either. Block fixed, bore honed, just waiting on new rings, gaskets and reassemble. Replacing pins to a set I had previously in another engine...Looks to have been dodgy conrod, replacing pins as well as rod or rods.

    Now they are only a tight press fit with no circlips to hold them in place, they would have to move a bit to touch the cylinder wall. mu guess would be an initial assembly issue.

    how do you get a knock out of a moved gudgeon pin? out of a moving gudgeon pin maybe.... scraping the cylinder wall I can understand,, (but doubt a simple hone would fix afterwoods)
    Hmmm,, how would a moved pin cause fouled plugs and smoke? lack of oil control in the cylinder would...

    Hi Pedro, mate i gave them the rods from a gems 4.6, he was hoping to use one or all rods or pins to rebuild. is there a difference? i was not aware if that's the case.Also i was told the gudgeon had moved, i might have heard it wrong. the bore has been honed so it may have been pin moving in rod that made the noise. basically they will put back together once rods and pins are good. the piston moving around too much in bore was explanation for fouling plug..i took that as gospel, im no mechanic and it seamed valid. 101RRS , mate again i could have heard it wrong but yes press fit was the issue.

    Hi guys, well i picked up my engine two days ago and i am ready to start re-installation. The engine bores have been honed, a full used set of rods have been installed using the pins to reattach pistons to said rods. There was an issue with the pins that were part of the new oversized piston set were undersized. Enough for one of them to move. New ring set also installed as first set did not bed in properly. All new original parts were bought from Rimmer brothers in the UK. All cleaned and reassembled to long and ready to put back in car as soon as i can get motivated.

    Ill keep ya posted on rebuild part 2, fingers crossed all good this time.
