thanks guys, guess I'll be switching to a heavier oil pretty soon...

oh and if mileage matters mine has about 91,000 miles on it...

For my turbo 7m engine what is the best oil for the job?? synthetic or base and what weight to use? Thanks

Kansas City, KS. U? If u wanna chat supras or RX-7s feel free to contact me on AIM My ID is TurboExtasy (yeah I know it's a stupid name)

well I don't have a vid camera to use, I'll see if I can borrow a friends sometime in the next few days, I'm not even sure if I know anybody that has one but I'll ask around...

mine is less of a clack and more of a knock, knock sound. Damn I need to get a video camera so you guys have a better idea of it.

sounds to me like your valves clacking, I had a bronco that sounded just like that, because the lifters weren't getting enough oil to them.

checkin it out right now

oh wait, u said u can't hear ur sound outside of the car, I can definitely hear mine outside of the car. oh well maybe I'll take an mpeg as well, what kind of camera did u use?

yeah, I'm interested to see if u have the same sound I'm gettin.

Also, I don't have fuel mods, unless the previous owner did them, put I'm almost positive that I don't.

well in my situation, as previously stated it sounds like a woodpecker peckin on an ol' oak tree or somethin. I can't hear it inside the car with the windows up only when the windows are down, and when I put stress on the engine (i.e. windows being rolled up or down, or putting my foot on the...

alright I'll give that a shot, anyone know the torque spec on that thing?

Where exactly can I find the bolt to tighten the harmonic balancer? It seems pretty tight back behind the engine, doesn't look like I could fit anything back there. Thanks

yeah that describes the sound pretty damn well...

well i drove home from work today (about a half hour drive) and didnt get the sound until i was about two minutes away from home, and i noticed that the lower the idle is the louder the knocking is, for example when I have my foot on the brake or am rolling the windows up the sound gets...

Actually, the noise only happens at idle, even the slightest rev makes the sound disappear until it returns back to a steady idle and the noise comes back. My idle tends to sit at an even 650 RPMs, however sometimes it will sit at around 1000-1100 RPMs which I don't understand either. Also the...

Well I guess that isn't the problem then, because the noise continues whether the clutch is pushed in or not. Damnit this is fucking bullshit. I blew all my money on some piece of shit, how long is this thing gonna last? If that is the deal then I guess I'll restart my search for an AE86...

Oh and oil pressure is as it should be...

are you guys confident that this is rod knock? Would a bad throwout bearing or old gear oil in tranny cause this at all? I really don't want to have to get rid of this car
