KC4 is the RPO for an engine oil cooler. You would have lines coming out of the oil pan around the filter and going into the driver's side of the radiator.

Alright then I don't have one.

Fwiw I dropped a mildly built long block in my burb 2 years ago for I think 4k. Did it in 4 days in the dead of winter

That seems like a really good deal… Unless I'm missing something. Does the $2800 include what you get back for the core charge? Are you looking at this one? So it says it's an ATK. Does that mean ATK made the engine or they rebuilt it? I don't know how that works exactly.

That's impressive! How many times have you swapped engines before?

I had a lot of help by my dad but it's pretty straight forward. Just a lot to remember where and how everything goes together once you pull it apart

Justin, is the bottom end knocking?

Justin, is the bottom end knocking?

Oddly no, not anymore. It knocked on the bottom end for the first couple of minutes I started it. Then it all of a sudden stopped and sounded normal.
