My G series 226 has now developed a knock.
It sounds kinda bad cold, but will disappear if I pull #5 plug wire.It also seems to go away when its warmed up, however I think I still hear it driving it under load.
Is it possible to overrev this thing?
I did kinda do a stupid thing, maybe. I was in traffic and needed to merge lanes so i kinda ran it up to 45 or so in 2nd gear. That had the motor sounding revved pretty hi. A couple days later when i started it up again is when i noticed the knock.
What i am wondering is, is it possible to stretch a rod bolt?
I am being told thats what it sounds like.

And next, how hard is it going to be to get new ones and replace them?
