If you arent willing to restructure your initial post to make it a bit clearer, do you really expect people to offer any advice?

im just evaluating all i can as im lost too..

were the bores much bigger than the pistons :lol:

A big end 'knock' will not go away when warmed up.... dont be daft. It may get masked at certain rpms, and be more pronouced on load. You will know if its the big ends.... you must :lol: KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

Can you actually re-phrase your question(s) as I'm a little lost as to what your actually asking now.

could it be piston slap..

so have i to be honest, are you definately sure its the bottom eng thats knocking and not someting like the box maybe or a cv boot sounds silly like but could be

Big ends can sometimes knock when cold but very rare, because most people goose the big ends when giving big licks which immediatly melts and scores the crank, if the engine hasnt been abused the big ends can make a slight knock from cold but like i said its very rare this is the case.

no but would u say that it would go away when its warm!! all big end knocks iv heard are knocking wheather hot or cold..

was the crank re ground

also replaced lifters too..!!

iv changed mains and little ends if it was bid end would it go away after warmed up!

oil... I just used vaux 10w30 i think it was.... the recommened oil

taps or knocks...

If its a bottom end knock you cant 'mask; that you need to fix it. (bearings)

If its a top end noise it will prob just be the hyd lifters. some may need replaced.... but c20xe are always a bit 'tappety'
