alright guys, was out last night, on the way back from the pub ( hadnt been drinking obviously) and stopped at a junction and my engine was knocking its brains out. Went to look under the bonnet, couldnt really find out, so drove home at 10mph with my hazards on....15mile.....joke....
Anyways, started it up this morning, and it sounds like the knocking is coming from the head, not the bottom end. Havnt got a clue what it could be, but the engine ticks over perfect, no knocking. Then when i rev it abit, 2000rpm lets say, it starts knocking....Bent valve maybe?
Any other suggestions? gonna start stripping her down in a bit, and see what the issue is> any starlet Guru's in the northwest willing to help? haha
I hope its not a valve but dont know what else it could be. Engine hasnt used any oil/water/nothing coming out of the exhaust, no burning smells. Water temp is fine.
HELP please guys! really need to sort this!
Cheers
James
