Well I have ran into some problems and I am kinda trying to avoid the obvious
![Image]()
I recently swapped out the 1.8 in my rocco. I switched it from a 1.8 JH (89 cabby) motor that was stock for a RV 1.8 with a worked head (ported, polished, schrick cam, HD valve springs, etc.) after the swap she fired up and was easily driven around the block with a crap load more power than it ever had before!

so I decided to take it on the main roads. I thought I should run it hard to "see what it could do" so I rev'd her to about 5500-5600 in each gear til I hit the top of third (FF tranny code with no work as far as I know). At this moment I heard a metal to metal knocking sound.. oh *****

so I babied her back to the house and parked her (I had a honey do list a mile long and wasn't suppose to be playing with the rocco til it was done

)
My question is or more like fear is:
ROD-KNOCK
![Image]()
does anyone have trouble shooting tips before I start?

any tips or suggestions on what it could be? The motor didn't lose power so I am expecting the worse

please help! This rocco was the one I decided to keep out of three and this one is giving me all the trouble....
