I don't like seeing threads without final info, so I'm uploading this. Removed engine a few months ago after 2 years with the car parked and found this:





Many gasket sealant found on oil pickup, probably I put too much on sump....


bought a crank said to be std needing a polish from a facebook group and was A LOT worse than mine, so sent mine to regrind 0,5 main and 0,25 in conrods now

now engine sounds better of course, but is not perfect, It has some knocking when accelerating from idle but not on constant rpm. The same sound I had on another engine with too much ignition advance on idle. I've to check oil pressure.


compression pressure measured on new engine: 10, 9.5, 10, 10 bar (in psi 145,138,145,145)
