what info would you like? built it 5 years ago, drove at least 10 miles a day, runs on royal purple, premium unleaded, and american spirit... Been well taken care of, no deposits found. The bolt on the front of the block was taken out a while ago, the marks on the rod are from the vice grips. Ive tried carb cleaner a few times and haven't gotten anywhere. I just now tapped the end by the pump a couple times with a hammer and it moved a little bit back up toward the motor but not much to generate hope. I'm guessing the rod is bent, would be the only explanation really but idk how it came about. Cam shaft is clean, pump was used when I built it but I didn't know that until later. Tried the twist, which just resulted in bloody knuckles and the rod moving farther up into the motor and less surface to hold onto with the pliers, vice grips, etc.
