I think it would be useful to have various sound clips of engines running and have some with various conditions....like:

Rod Knock
Clack Clack goes the valves
Low Oil Pressure
Backfiring
Missing


and some with the good stuff like

A good running 1.7,1.8 and 2.0 engine

Check out the clip on my site. My last race with the old 1.7 but she still sounds pretty good.

my 1.7 sounds like its shittin its pants all the time.....

I haven't accumulated too many "distinctive" T-IV sounds that I would use for troubleshooting engine problems, other than this one:

914 2.0L, with a Stinger exhaust, running a little rich.

Hope this helps.

A healthy 2270 running a little rich - Startup and idle...

10K will get you a really nice 2316 or a "superhero", that 3.0 is big big $$$ and I don't think he even sells them.

Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow,wow,wow,wow,wow,wow,

Wish I had some way of recording and downloading my freshly built up 1.7---

But, wow,wow,wow,wow,wow,wow,wow,wow,wow,wow

Worn or needs adjusting valve adjuster (tappet)!
