KILLSHOTS · 10-29-2014

When I brought my Z home, it had a definite "rod knock". So much so that I was about to let my LT5-ignorant mechanic pull the motor. Fortunately, I got on this site and did some research and we first replaced the injectors with new stainless FIC units. Coincidentally, my "rod knock" disappeared.

Moral of the story is it might be a good opportunity to get a perfectly-good short block cheap if anyone needs one.
