It goes away after a while. but comes back, but not as loud. im using 20w-50 from redline.... dont know what oil was in it when i got it. alot of people tell me its the lifters, and others tell me its a VVT problem.
Devil Man said:sounds like rod knock to me...
Devil Man said:haha, why do you say that. you really think that all that noise can be from the lifters... i mean yeah i would try the thiner oil first and see what happens, but that sure as hell sounds violent to just be lifter noise.
