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
