its still knocking

Well I renewed the big ends in my crossflow and its still knocking

Still coming from the back: oil pressure OK, ticks over without any knocking, blip the engine sometimes it starts making a noise, blip it again and it shuts up.

any more suggestions

Cheers Chris

Small ends, mains? Piston rings?

Have you put the thrust washers back in?

errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

dont think I took any out!

I had better look in the manual

If you have play in the crank (no/loose thrust washers), it will worsen, improve as you operate the clutch

Did you check the crankshaft journals for wear / ovality??

I've decieded to scrap the engine and go for the other one I have. It has a single score down one barrel, but its not too deep so hopefully it'll be OK
