Hello All,

I currently have a 427 FE in my Cobra. On Saturaday I took the car for a test drive (very light driving motor was still warming up. I reach the corner which is half a block away and made a left hand turn. As soon as I hit the gas still light driving I heard a metal sound coming from the engine. I pulled over for inspection and did not see anything. I then turn off the motor and for a better inspection and did not see anything. I return home and parked the car. The next morning I decided to remove the valve covers and inspect the rockers. Everything looked fine again. When turnin the motor by hand I heard a click noise just I I heard with the motor running. I am running the steel crank with the wider journals and rods.

Could this be a rod bearing that is bad? Is there anyway that I could determine if the bearing are shoot before I pull the motor?

This motor does not have too many miles on it, I am still in the build process.

Thanks for any help that can be provided.
