Hi all -
help! ok - so, had some weird problems today. Which started with the gas pedal sticking at like 75-80 mph on the freeway. I pulled off the fwy and unstuck the pedal - but did it a couple more times on side streets on the way home. But before i made it home - i noticed the engine started making a ticking or pinging sound. Then i got home and let it rest in the garage - but when i came back an hour or 2 later to start it up again - it started making this loud knocking sound. Now I'm more worried about the engine than the pedal sticking. (74 1.8 Ljet) Here's a link to a video of me starting the car Any help would be much appreciated.

hoping just the valve since it is ticking only when u drive home and got worse when you started it again inside your garage. Try opening both valve cover and inspect.

You might also want to do a compression test and see if that gives any further clues.

@CoronaMike
Mike, Isolate which head it is coming from. Use a hose like a stethoscope. At best a rocker shaft came loose. At worst a rod knock. Pull the valve covers and look at the height of the valves when closed. If you dropped a seat that valve will be highet than the others. I am in Riverside and could take a look at it. PM me your phone number. Bruce 9515367478 |

That clunk right at the end almost sounds like the flywheel is getting loose.
I had to re-torque mine when still on engine stand. |
