Nice bro,  and you'd be SURPRISED to see how much shit a CA20E will take before it bites the dust.  Prolowtone knows.

you know iv noticed that, it has had that knock for about tha last 5 years but now it will be bad and then go away on a warm day and just random but i was playing around and i noticed on that dist cap im damn near missing the intake coil spot and if i push it up tight the knocking will quiet (i just got the new cap and rotor in today to bad its -22 and will be colder tomorrow, nothing a heator cant fix...lol.)so i dont know if there is that much slop in the pistons and rings but ill probly drive it till she crokes mostly cuz the wife cant see me spending 5k for a motor when i have one that runs

Well I'm guess by what u said u have the motor already so it actually should be rather cheap to do this.
