Re: 2g Lifters - knocking and ticking

Big difference between Tick and knock.

Tick that goes away in a few minutes after the motor warms up and is ushaly only a minor/non-issue.

Knock doesn't ushaly just "go away", it just gets worse the longer and harder you run it, like till the motor seizes or throws a rod through the side of your block and ruins the motor!

If you have knock, you basicaly looking at a min of a lower end rebuild, and should get it in to get it done asap or you'll end up just loosing it all.

I thought my 2G might have had knock cause the "ticking" was pretty LOUD kinda like a knock, but it just was a exhaust manifold leak, so I got lucky.

Might want to just baby that car into a good shop like QPR and have Mike take a look at it ASAP before she just "let's go", and your block is totaly wrecked man!

<Oh wait, it's another 7 bolt POS like my motor right? Might as well just "let her go" then and start from scratch with a 2.4>

IMHO.......
