rod knock on fresh engine! + ae111 4agze conversion question

[Luke - BZG]

Does the engine have the correct dip-stick? Have heard a similar story with a dip-stick too long that hit the bottom of the oil pan, bent down in what little oil there was and coming out giving a "full" reading.

You should happy, most places would tell you it was your fault for still driving it with a fault there. Especially one such as that. Lucky if you do get the job done for nothing

blardy heck. ummm its the original dip stick, only thing I can think of is if maybe I bent it. However it goes straight down so i doubt it. imagine that though! i think it would have $&#$% up a bit sooner if that were the case, it lasted 2950kms.

i am happy alright because i wanna sell this and get a hillman hunter or a soarer something, if i had have had wiring issues along with the rattle it would have been a pain in the ass to fix!

think he was fine because I took it round to his house a couple days before and told him about the oil light and the rattle, he said today he is really pissed off with himself because he shouldnt have let me drive it away without thorough testing, hes also a family friend so hes pretty all good to me (gives or lends me tools gives me free oil sometimes etc.)
