1 Lucky Texan Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 some folks have had a weak timing belt tensioner mimic rod knock. there's a youtube video or 2 about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Verify diagnosis first. Is it piston slap - gets a little less loud as the engine warms up? Timing tensioner or exhaust leaks get blamed for rod knock. If it’s an EJ25D then EJ22 swap it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
