The engine mechanical sound while it's running, not the exhaust. My stock 1974 1.8 L-jet makes a kind of soft klacklacklacklack sound when it runs. Is this normal?

if you are SURE your valves are adjusted to spec for your engine, it's probably normal. you may be ablt to hear the injectors click too.
clack/tick noises are often your engine telling you it wants its valves checked. if they ARE adjusted to spec and that noise goes away (hard to tell, 'cause it's usually gradual...) you probably have a valve tightening up (bad) and you should check into it soon. |
