It turns out that 1LO called it months ago&#8230; a wrist pin.\u00a0I pulled the 3rd Cyl and presto the click is gone. I&#8217;ve checked the cyl walls and they are very smooth. I see no reason to have it rebuilt. I&#8217;ve ordered new piston rings and cam bearings (which I may not use), and will also order some wrist pins. Those will arrive later in the week.<\/p>\n<p>Today, to get myself motivated again. I focused on the bay&#8230; and the rest of the front end as you can see below.\u00a0I got a little crazy and decided to to get the whole front end clean.<\/p>\n<p>I pulled the body harness all the way out and removed everything except the AC. I&#8217;m still debating to take the ac out too just to make it easier to clean and paint.<\/p>\n<p>I might do all the wire mod and the fuse box mod, I haven&#8217;t decided. I also want to reroute the fuel line I think? Maybe not, Its kinda cool to have it come out of the fender.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m going to try to line up and fix the fenders also. get the bent brackets at the bottom straighten out. one side is got a big gap and the other when its warm will hit the door as it opens.<\/p>\n<p>Long story short, I&#8217;m going to be doing a lot of detail and tedious things while I&#8217;m waiting on the parts for the motor.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks john for you help and input.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.frankforged.com\/forge\/images\/cars\/96camaro\/operationx\/2011-11-12_22-14-18_63.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frankforged.com\/forge\/images\/cars\/96camaro\/operationx\/2011-11-12_22-14-18_63.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.frankforged.com\/forge\/images\/cars\/96camaro\/operationx\/2011-11-12_22-13-49_242.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frankforged.com\/forge\/images\/cars\/96camaro\/operationx\/2011-11-12_22-13-49_242.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So&#8230; it turns out that junkyard motor was just that&#8230; junk. anyway&#8230; bummed as I was, I decided to just fix my motor.
