Re: High Knock in my Talon

Well the ticking has gone mostly away, but I can still hear it slightly. I will hopefully get the new lifters next week sometime. I bought one of those sets off ebay that are going for 105 for an entire set. Seemed like a damn good price. He said he'll ship them monday so I should have them next week sometime. The car is still knocking like a bastard like it's been doing. I put 5 gallons of that 111 octane in there today, probably had about 3 gallons of 92 still in the tank. Eitherway it didn't do a damn thing, so I suppose that is pretty much telling me this is some BS knock, not the real thing. We'll see how the lifters work out. Hopefully that's my cure!

And also I made a gasket for my O2/Downpipe connection as It was leaking pretty bad and was stupid loud, and I thought it could possibly somehow be affecting the knock. That quieted her down nicely! Now I just gotta make gaskets for the rest of the turbo back!
