I did a post a while back about a D7 cat I more or less inherited. The guy
who owned it said it started knocking and he shut it off immediately.  Sure,
same as saying it ran when parked...
He must have run it a long time or he was deaf.  I removed the rear block
access plate and stuck a bar under the connecting rod on #3 and it has
movement of over 1/8". Same with #4.
I'm not even going to remove the rod caps as I'm sure the crank has been
pounded flat.
Or do you think it may be salvageable?
