Quick Question

[nightmare16v1988@hotmail.com (Krazy Horse)]

i thought it was the exhaust valves because if the barring is gone, the 
piston would move slightly more than it should. i figured it slapped the 
valves on the exhaust stoke. the engine was frozen for a while, but i got it 
running again. it starts right up but has that God aweful tapping (more like 
banging) sound. i can move the crank with a ratchet so the journal is not 
against the cylender wall. thanks everyone who is/has been helping me out on 
this!
