Description of the problem | Always oil changes on time and maintenance. Since i had it, there was always a valve knocking. Spark plug melted from extreme heat then exploded into cylinder the pulverize. So i rebuilt the entire motor including new oil pump, timing belt, cam intakes, ect. And had valves professionally rebuilt. I have been a mechanic for years and can not figure why they still knock after $2,300. 00 in engine components and such. I took it too a shop and they are baffled also. *jb |
