I ran mine with no muffler after rebuild, including putting an hour or so on it for the break-in oil. Here's my post with some audio. Not too noisy at all, as far as I know none of my neighbors...

Great story Ando, and similar to many of us who've had to "learn by doing" on these A4's. My story is similar to yours, except my knocking turned into an errant connecting rod blasting a hole through...

Yeah, wouldn't the magnaflux have picked that crack up? Guess I'll just have to wait for the next chapter to find out what happened.
By the way, is that a YJ in the background? I'm doing a build...

Welcome Invader
I recently took on a full A4 rebuild with pretty much zero knowledge. As I went along I posted questions on this forum, talked to Ken at Moyer, ordered the bits and pieces I needed...

These things run on silly putty!
My A4 has been running slightly rough lately, and I'm overdue for a tune up. I'm getting the boat ready to sell, so I figured I'd get the ol' A4 purring properly.

Set up a simple engine stand with necessary hoses, bucket, battery etc. to be able to run and troubleshoot the engine in...

Sercouf,
As I read through this thread, I'm not clear what your intention is here. Are you looking to do the absolute minimum just to get the engine running again, then put it back in the boat? Or...

Yup, she's still sailing the Tartan and her Barbie engine is still purring along. I too was amazed how simple it was to rebuild that engine (although I suppose the fine folks at Moyer deserve some of...

Who needs A4 parts?
Somehow, in the process of rebuilding an A4 for my daughter's boat, I've amassed a whole bunch of parts. Basically 2 whole engines, in pieces, with likely some pieces missing. All late model. Other...
