Thank you all for your helpful advise. I thought I would post my resolution to my issue. I developed a very loud knock incredibly fast while doing some light work. I killed the machine and started to tear in. I found a ton of play in my number three connecting rod. After thinking I was in for the big one, I decided to poke around and see what everything else looked like. I was surprised that pistons and sleeves looked good. My connecting rods liked good and my crank was not grooved. The issue was a missing connecting rod bearing. I thought the worst and was prepared to pull it apart and have crank and rods machined with new bearings. Before I did that I thought for giggles I wold chuck in a standard bearing and see where that left me. Well that didn't work and there still was a tiny bit of play. So back to crank machining idea. Before I did that I stuck some larger plastiguage in there and it came out that an 030 bearing would be close. I chucked it in, and boom no play. Put it all back together and have put a few running hours on her with no issues. I'm going to give this a shot and see what happens, but I have sourced a used crank nd connecting rods as a backup. We will see what happens. Thanks for all your advise. Adrian

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
