Tman1058 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) 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,Tom Edited July 30, 2014 by Tman1058 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tman1058 Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 I've been running Castrol 20w50 and MMO through it, along with doing the oil pump real and gasket, it got quieter, but not much change. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibreakstuff Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
