Bought a cheap 02 Isuzu Trooper supposedly with bad lower engine knock, I have a 98 with an excellent engine I was planning to put in it, not a perfect easy transfer but doable. With my bad hearing I got a second opinion but sure enough the knock is on the top side. Pulled the plugs, bore scope won't go past spark plugs but I can see what appears to be carbon in #5 cylinder. Further inspection shows all valves working. Now it's a question of pulling the head or just go with the engine swap. The knock is bad, it has to be if I could locate it by sound. Can't imagine any elixir that would dissolve the carbon and not wash out a bearing if it got down that far. Back in the old days we'd pour water down the carburetor as fast as it would take it but that was before fuel injection and catalytic convertors.

do the engine swap . that way you'll have a car to get around to buy the parts after you've torn the bad one apart.... me, I'd try fixing the bad engine,get nowhere, and have to swap the engines anyway.... Jay

Most of the late model engines had built in piston slap to accommodate engine temperature changes better without seizing. Many of my old GMs did, now Fords and foreign manufacturer equipment is doing it. I wonder if not picking up on that with piston head carbon buildup.
