It sounds exactly the same as the one in this youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E022n8Z1JeY I've done a compression test and the results are as follows: From cold- Front cylinder 120psi Rear cylinder 115psi After warming up on tick over for 5-6 minutes- Front cylinder 75psi Rear cylinder 80psi Should I be worried? I'd like to loose the rattle, but don't really want to spend money on a rebuild if it'll still sound the same afterwards. Any help and advice is very much appreciated. |
What Oil are you using, if its 10W40 try switching to a decent 15W50
