Tubbith Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 had a similar noise on my b18b, i decided to keep driving it... turned out to be a rod on its way out... within a week i had to stop driving it and buy a new block..(rod slipped a bearing)... not saying its your problem, just saying, if your still driving it, be easy on it. lol.. and figure out what it is and get it fixed asap.

Hatch92 Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 if it's louds its prolly a rod knock. if it's real quiet it's prolly just valve tap. and you said it doesn't do it at idle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
