Slight knocking noise from engine


Recommended Posts

I've been told that the MU shuttle can 'tick' - try the stethoscope test on this.

The engine in my driver has knocked under certain conditions between cold and hot since it was rebuilt in '94. Most of the time it's quiet. With 120K+ miles on it since its rebirth I no longer expect it to change. Oil pressure is still at the high end of the published range.

 

The valve train is noisier than some ( including my show car with its steroidal camshaft and larger 0.016" tappet clearances ). That too is congenital, at least since its rebuild and I wonder if there's a connection. In the mid '70s I had a TR4 with bad rockers that sounded like a diesel at idle.

 

Cheers,

Tom
