well what I am saying is that the clattering of valves on a cold engine is
normal until the oil comes up to the top (your engine is not hydraulic
valves) yes, but are we talking about KNOCK that shakes the engine, then
no.. which is it?

OK so you're telling me my cold morning knock is normal I hope? I'm just
very anal since I built this engine myself, and in my case that does not
make me rest easy:)

if not it could be the bearing of the valves complaining for the oil is

its time to get there., an oil pan heater or block heater will keep the
oil
ay 70'f and will reduce the "cold morning knock" in my humble
experiences
with Canadian 8 months out of the year.

Hey all,
now that temps are dipping well below 20F here, I have noticed in the
morning when I start up my '84(stock 1.8 JH with 8k on rebuild), it
sounds
as though it is knocking. Not like an insane erratic knock, but a
constant
knock-knock-knock-knock, well you get the idea. What's going on? The
sound
goes away once warm. I'm running Mobil-1 synthetic 10w-30 if that has
anything to do with anything. Thanks to any who can provide even the
slightest info/help on this-
Rob
