Hi guys, need a bit of help here. I have bought a forged engine last week and fitted it yesterday, now I'm a mechanic by trade so I know what im doing and Im using the correct oil, but Im getting quite concerned with the rattle it has, the engine is second hand and has done 5 - 6k miles according to the person I got it off, and he told be it had a bit of piston slap due to oversized pistons, so knowing this I did expect a slight noise till it was hot, but this noise is constant and I changes my cams and lifters over from my old engine and there was no difference. I changed the cams over because. I though it sounded a bit top endy, but after listening a bit closer it is coming from the bottom. now I have a video of it and wondered if anyone could let me know what they think?
