As far as that clunk - yep, pulling away from a light or putting it in gear from a standstill and dropping the rpm 50 or so from that 'free' idle brings out the noise. Get past 1000 rpm, long gone.==========================
Ugh.. I was hoping you'd say nope, it happens differently. Anyway, the speed pro's are brand new as are the rings but like I said 30 over. They're not going anywhere for awhile so if you need them, you know how to find me...

As an aside, when I discovered that broken off skirt in the 6 cylinder, I honed the cylinder in the truck and shoved a new standard piston w\rings in the hole and the customer was happy 'cause it was quiet! It never smoked or rattled after that! I have no idea why it broke one skirt.
