SupraT61 Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Hello everyone, Iv tried searching for this first, although finding a couple of topics I'm not really any wiser OK the cars been off road for about 8month now, the car run fine a few days ago before i took the manifold and turbo off (the manifold had some work done so had to be removed) Anyway I took my time putting everything back together nice and tight so it didn't have to come off again, once I turned the key it started fine but then the engine got warm I could hear a knocking from the exhaust cam area. I'm sure every things tight and put back on right so I cant understand how this could happen when Iv not even been driving the car Its booked in with Ryan next month to be mapped to Can anyone shed any light?

paul mac Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 sorry to here your problems bud, is the knock rpm related, is it there all the time or does it come and go, i ask this because mine developed an intermitant knock from the top end many moons ago when it had been laid up for a while, i have no idea what it was but i did an engine oil flush and oil change and it never came back, scared me to death Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraT61 Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 It takes a good ten min to start knocking from cold and it is rev related. Time for a flush I think! A mechanic's been to look at it and said its just the noise from the cams with the breather filter being fitted and I'm being paranoid...
