104's are to cold, if your stock just get new iridium. or 606 iirc copper cores is one range cooler and work well for stock.

then again, plugs are not knocking. so dont buy them till you know if you need a engine or not.
Well the plan was to mod right away with this car. As I have headers, 1.9's, oer lifters and comp push rods ready to go in but then the knock happened.
You won't like this, but that's a rod bearing by the sounds of it.
after that vid, im also gonna say rod knock.
Yeah it's internal. 60 psi oil. Pulled belts still there. F***ing dealer knew. He was pretty sure about there check on the car. Didn't do it there.
Bought it one week ago FML
week old, damn...
60 psi cold is good o/p really.
Rods bearings and all that crap really come and go? I might be wishing and wanting that to not be it so much
wtf is going on there? is the car all cooled off in the last vid? cant say ive ever heard a rod knock come and go.
cracked flex can sound like a rod knock too. its super hard to see if its cracked with out taking the engine or tranny out tho.
No more cooled than the knocking one. I gotta rev it up and down alot to get it to knock. Kinda like driving stopping then going.
That's what I'm saying it's intermittent. And yes flex plate isn't very easy to see.
The knock will go away after idling for a minute to
id get a pipe or something to listen through, see if you tell if its coming more from the front or back valve cover, pull that cover off, then fire it up, oil may shoot all over, but you may be able to see if a rocker is being lazy, or if a spring is cracked/busted.
a bad lifter i could see pump up at idle and lose pressure and clap the rocker with rpm's. what was kinda odd was it stopped knocking with gas, then knocked when you let the throttle go. when you did drop the throttle it had the exact sound of a rod knock. that bouncing knock sound where it kinda doubles up in the vid.
Right but that double knock goes away in about a minute. I'll try to get a video of it going away.
Longer video of it coming and going
thats odd. has to be a lifter.
