January 27, 200917 yr put a junkyard FE engine in my 77 wagon today, this was the same engine I asked about metal in the pan. It fired right up and made this awefull loud knocking noise, I thought oh crap, what a waste of time. I let it run for about a couple minutes then revved it and the noise went away very quickly. What was it, did it just need to get some oil flowing? The engine has been sitting in my shed for a couple years, who knows when the last time it ran was. I drove it a couple miles and it ran REALLY good. pretty zippy.
January 27, 200917 yr scary i drove an impreza (1.8mpfi) to california from here (ellensburg wa) with a light knock out of all things the tranny went a month after the trip.
January 27, 200917 yr Knocking sounds different than mine... but when i swapped my EA82 recently, I accidentally bent that sheet metal piece that completes the bottom of the bell housing... rubbed on the flywheel for a little while and made kind of bad noises... then went away after about 20 miles...
