(Thats about half of the price of the motor). I think that is enough time and money to be considered "Taking the time" to properly diagnose the problem. I'm not going to take the time to rant anymore about this experience. I want focus more on getting this fixed. I can tell you with 100% certainty, this motor has the exact same noise as it did before. The last two days have been spent on timing and adjusting the carb. I don't want to post any more videos until absolutely 100% of everything is checked.

I've never said anything negative about this experience until I paid the ransom money to get my motor back. I knew it would not be well received by mentioning anything negative about Paul or Koerner Racing. I'm prepared to deal with the comments. You can guarantee that if this knocking noise is something stupid and it's something like ignition, vibration etc, I will disclose that and apologize to Paul for that aspect. On the other hand..if the knock is still exactly the same, how do you explain the bad bushing in the distributor? We are trying to go through what is on the motor now that wasn't used on the dyno..fuel pump etc. We got a signature at the distributor again. I think the plan is to try another distributor.
