Title: Engine Knocking/Clatter *Video*
Post by: roadsterd on March 27, 2008, 11:49:42 PM

Well I just got the motor back together a few weeks ago (Replaced all the guides and the tensioner).  I have only driven the car a few hundred miles, it has driven flawless thus far.  The other day I took it out to a fun backroad near my house... after a couple miles of high rpms and tight corners I got back to the main road.  I pulled off in a cool picture spot of mine to snap some of the car and noticed the engine was a little loud.  Then yesterday I took it for a spin and between 3000-3200 rpms I get a knocking/clatter sound.

The specific sound is ~14 seconds in the video...

Any ideas?
