ea82 knock


Recommended Posts

The knock sounds like it's in the right top end, it doesn't knock at an idle, but high idle is when it starts. I just finished doing head gaskets in it, and didn't hear it run before I did them. The guy I bought it from (and the guy whose house it was stored at, that was a subaru mechanic) said that it ran really well, it just leaked about a quart of oil per week. The guy I bought it from is my dad's friend so I trust him on that. If anyone has any idea of what it could be, that would be awesome. Check out the link for the video to hear it.


Thanks in advance,

That is pretty loud for ToD, sounds like a dead HLA.

 

Personally I would grab a IR thermo, run it for a bit and pop the valve cover on that side... whatever rocker is the hottest is probably your dud HLA. Just cleaning the HLA's might fix it, its not that hard to do all of them either.
