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. |

I've been having similar problems.
I checked the side to side play on my rockers, and found they have about .025 so i'm guessing that may be whats causing it on mine. Just a guess though. A mechanic down here i spoke with had mentioned the hazards of getting dirt into the valve area when adjusting the valves, and it working its way down into the lifter bores. I can only imagine what grit in the lifter bore can do. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) make them stick maybe? a couple of thoughts. b. |
