The knock is just the sound really, it doesn't shake the engine. It's not very loud, but definately audible. Maybe my pump is going bad? I thought I had my winter oil set-up pretty good; Mobil-1 full synthetic 10w-30 and a NAPA Gold oil filter. If this indicates that my wrist pins are going bad or something, I'm going to cry-

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 take
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
