As the title states, I was looking for a big bore kit that someone might have laying around that they never got around to installing. Thanks!

The noise seems to be more prevalent on the 1700 engines.
I don't have any first hand experience with either the 1700 or clacking.

Only rumor, the bb kit has hotter cams. And I will say when this topic (clacking) comes up for discussion, I may comment too...Period. 
I read online "The big bore kit consists of new pistons, liners, hotter camshafts, up-rated clutch springs and '1700' clutch cover embellisher. Maximum power output is increased from 85bhp to 97bhp – with torque lifted from 106ft/lbs to 115ft/lbs.". ...OK I did add "hotter", that's how these fuckin rumors start
