i run 20W-50 oil....
when i turn the engine over, it kinda sounds like there is no oil going to the cam until i start driving and the car starts warming up. (i remember the sound on my 2.0 when i would first start the car). is 20W too thick? or am i looking at cam problems later? the sound kinda goes away when the engine gets warmer...sounds like rod knock when cold and a click when hot. haven't been able to pull another person for the timing check, but does the timing affect the AFR for my progressive? Does anybody have any 1.7 parts...I have a complete 2.0 that I *NEED* to get rid of....or rebuilt, but the $$ isnt there...so it needs to go. i need to learn to (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welder.gif) there is somebody local that wants to charge $700 to fix my structural issues caused by the hell-hole. is this a good price? doesn't include battery tray or engine bay metal, just repairing of supports and what-not. |

20W-50 is the right shit IMO... if you are truly NOT getting oil, that is a big problem...
if this is truly a knocking rod... you are fuct... roayally and painfully fuct... however it *might* be valve noise... generally, from what I've seen, rod knocks only get louder as you run the engine, not quiet down... @3000 RPMs a rod knock will sound like a hammer rattling around on the crank... LOUD as shit! |
