[s-cars] Borescope'ing the oil pick-up

[brian hoeft]

//Siiiigh,

Theres a noticable, what sounds to me like a rod knock, slightly below and
into 3k RPM..

It doesnt happen at all when cold cold and oil pressure is steady high. It
doesnt happen under boost (at least not noticably, yet)(did I say yet..oops)
or deceleration. Once warmed and light on the throttle it is quite apparent
to me, but I did have to point it out to my friend.

kinda wanna puke, kinda staying optimistic, but im pretty confident Lucas
and Amsoil are not the cure..

-Brian
