    Rod vs. Valve knock

    Took IJ's advice "Get a helper to hold the throttle at the knocking rpm then pull and replace each injector clip, if it's RK it should stop" Found that Cylinder number one and Four were the noise makers. One a little, Four, huge difference when unplugged. I guess, it is officially the death...

    Rod vs. Valve knock

    From the first second I start the car you can hear the knocking. At idle you hear it and when you rev it up it is ridiculously loud. The reason why I thought it was a rod knock is because of how loud it is. I may be wrong, How loud could a lifter or a valve noise be.

    Won't idle, won't rev past 2700 rpms

    just talked to a buddy of mine who works as a service manager. He recommended that I should check the timing, he thought that maybe the timing belt skipped and caused the timing to be off. Sounds look it would make sense with the ticking that was all of a sudden, and rough running.

    I am new to the supra, I have mainly tinkered with V8's in my nova. Saw one of these supras and wanted to fix one up. I drove over to Niagara falls, NY from vermont to pick a 87 supra. The supra had a manual boost controller for a mod and that was it. Boost turned up high I thought for a stock...
