Okay, cylinder off and no catastrophic carnage. The boroscope was wrong, no burnt valve. Only thing I can see is some piston top scratches from my screwdriver while checking TDC and some slight discoloration on the RH exhaust valve. However, I noticed the rod is has a wee bit of side to side play on the crank. Being a teardown newb, I have no idea if this is normal or not. I assume it could be the source of my knocking, but, there also must be a hair of play there just from the pounding it takes. Bottom end guys, let me know what you think. You can see the pics below, they don't show much. A hair of scoring on the cylinder, but, I assume that's normal, no major gouging. It's either roll the dice and re-ring and hone, or buy a 2nd hand motor. What's the call, I'm all for getting this project on the road, maybe having a spare motor isn't all that bad. I'm just dreading putting a used motor in and hearing the same thing. You'd see a grown man cry :'(.
