i recently changed my injectors on my gt (6 cylinder) for the sds system i just got. after i put everything back together i'm getting a misfire and a constand LOUD tapping noise. someone suggested that i possibly got something in the clylinder when i was changing parts around and other say it's a normal lash problem. anyone else encounter a problem like this that could help me out? thanks.k, i just took a small piece of metal out of one of the cylinders. that took care of the irregular tapping. now i got. . . i guess a knock ? it sounds almost like i damaged a rod. i'm taking it into the shop fri for them to check out exactly what happened and what all needs replaced. i think that a lock washer fell into the plenum and went completely through the system except for a little piece. so i'm curious what all got damaged. hopefully not the valves, short block, and rods. i guess i'll know friday.
IF YOU TAKE OFF THE PLENUM, BLOCK OFF THE PLENUM AND THE MANIFOLD!

also, if it is a rod that i damaged/short block. what should i replace it with? can i just get the block bored out to save $ off a new one? what kind of pistons/rods should i get. i know that the stock parts are probably the same if not more than performance ones. if you could give me some names and prices. it'll be appriciated especially since i just did over a $1000 mistake yesterday!
