thats it? Having a lack of oil temporarily could throw them out of whack that fast? and btw idk if I wanna be pullin plug wires with the motor runnin....ive had bad experience with that in the past

i guess you didnt read. its ALWAYS tapping. I am 90% sure its valvetrain. It made the noise when it was low on oil, but now it always does, even when the oil level is fine. So again I ask, if its in the cyl. head, what could be wrong?

ok well anyway, back to my problem!!!! I recall the knock that tenchus car was makin, at first it was very intermittent, and occured at all random spots in the rpm range. The sound my car is making very different. Its constant and consistant tapping, and only gets louder the harder you step on the g...

from every engine that I ever worked with that knocked, it wasn't a constant sound until it was seconds away from blowing. This is a very constant tick tick tick sound, that occurs all throughout the rpm range. Looked under the oil cap with a flashlight, saw the cam was scored, dont know if that mak...

the acura I used to have, 1.8 DOHC (1990) had been ran low on oil, and now it ticks. I called up josh (tenchu) he says it could be a knock, since its such a small engine, what I would think of as valve noise on a V8 could actually be a knock. What do you guys think?

Do dual overhead cam motors tend to produce more valvetrain noise then basic OHV motors? Is this common?

still funny

if you dont like ricers either, watch this!

what are you, the thread police?

yea that sucks. wisconsin rules because not only can you find a loop hole in emmisions laws to make your car "exempt" forever, there is no inspections, so you can drive the biggest pile of crap on the road and not have a care in the world (ahem, me)
