Back in September I posted I had engine woes. I just wanted to update everyone on what had happened. It turned out my severe knocking was #2 piston had broke apart. We ended up pulling the engine, having it rebuilt and reinstalling it. My thanks to my awesome friend Steve Southworth who let me tie up his building for 7 weeks. Engine was rebuilt by D&R Engine & Machine in Marion, Iowa. They contacted Dick Paterson for the spec's on the cam and other parts and they were awesome to work with. Pictures can be seen via the attached link. Thanks everyone for your input and support along the way. I am hoping that this is something I never have to do again.

Ray,
I looked at the pics, particularly the images of the piston. Never seen something like that. Post mortem give you any idea why that happened?
