Hey guys n gals, it's me again. I got the old bucket put back together today after a top end rebuild, and it fired right up, second kick! But something's just not right... it sounds like it's knocking pretty good from somewhere. Or maybe it's more of a tapping. Anyway, I've been lead to believe it's going to smoke after such an overhaul, not too worried about that. It is, however getting very hot, very quickly. The right side in particular will start smoking from the case. I didn't remove the patina, and there's still some grease here n there as I really dont care about it being shiny or anything. Other than that, it goes well, no problem with compression or performance that I can see. Any thoughts?
