I was just driving my car a minute ago and something very bad just happened. I had a concern about my revs earlier and how it wouldn't let me go over 4000 rpm. Well, I just replaced the coil and was trying it out to see if it helped my revs go past 4000. When I took it up there, something happened and a very loud knocking noise started happening. Another person on this thread had a post about a loud knocking noise that he heard when he started his car. Mine seems to be making the same kind of noise. I need help immediately! Any help as soon as possible would be helpful, please. Thank you very much.

From what I can remember, my dad checked the valves not too long ago, but like I just said that's most likely what happened. The cases were not split recently to my knowledge. We bought this motor a few months ago and basically popped it in the car and went. I'm hoping to god that nothing major has happened, but I'll have to wait and see. The 4000 rpm problem was never solved but hopefully will be sometime. If not I'm just going to have to do what I've been planning on, and rebuilding the 1.8 as strong as possible. I'll get back to everyone with any updates. Thanks for the help so far
