Well, just after the rebuild on my 2.0 liter, I get to enjoy the lovely sound of a stupid knock. I got home a little while ago and my dad said he heard some popping like there was a miss. I told him I didn't hear anything and pretty much thought nothing of it. Well I just went back outside to start it up again and see if I heard the popping he was talking about. And what do you know, a god damn knock is there. Definetly sounds valve related again, but I'm hoping to god it isn't anything bad that would cause a shitload of damage again. Is there any chance that I could be lucky and it's just like a loose valve for some unknown reason? I mean is there anything it could be besides a f-ed up valve that's hitting the piston and is threatening to the well-being of the motor? Please let me know. If this is a problem that's going to involve money to fix, there goes my car!

Just a side note, is the knock only with the clutch out (internal trans parts turning but car not moving)?
If the knock goes away when you press in the clutch pedal, it could be something inside the tranny instead of the engine. We had a tranny that did that just before the trans died.... It would make a kind of clunking with the car in neutral with the clutch out. Sound went away with your foot on the clutch. I'm not entirely sure what it was, but we ended up breaking all the teeth off of the 4th gearset. |
