I'm a beginner at engine building so I'm going to need some assistance from the community. I decided to tackle the engine rebuild and need some advice from the community. On start, the motor smokes for quite a while. Is this the rings? It also has developed a tap tap tap noise when its running. I have to add 50 weight engine quiet to make the noise dissipate a little. You can still hear it slightly though...
IS IT NORMAL TO HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF WATER DRAIN OUT WHEN I POPPED THE INTAKE MANIFOLD? THERE WAS WATER IN THE INTAKE AREA.
Is it worth rebuilding this tired motor? Should I replace the heads or rebuild them? Should I do piston work? Why is there rust on the perimeter ports? Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
