I rebuilt the engine myself, using standard(not oversized) bearings.  I ofcourse made sure everything was within spec though.  The engine had 170k....

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
