Well, just after the rebuild on my 2.0 liter, I get to enjoy the lovely sound of a stupid knock. I got home a little while ago and my dad said he heard some popping like there was a miss. I told him I didn't hear anything and pretty much thought nothing of it. Well I just went back outside to start it up again and see if I heard the popping he was talking about. And what do you know, a god damn knock is there. Definetly sounds valve related again, but I'm hoping to god it isn't anything bad that would cause a shitload of damage again. Is there any chance that I could be lucky and it's just like a loose valve for some unknown reason? I mean is there anything it could be besides a f-ed up valve that's hitting the piston and is threatening to the well-being of the motor? Please let me know. If this is a problem that's going to involve money to fix, there goes my car!

Ah...
a dropped seat... Someone skimped on the heads and got bit in the tail! Please listen when we say that ALL valve seats MUST be replaced! Sorry to hear it man. Let me know if we can help. BTW- Inspect that piston VERY closely and have someone thats a TIV jead specialist do the re-install for you- OR you'll be right back here again! Pull both heads and do ALL the seats, anything else is just plain skimping! |
