How's your oil pressure? If it's below 20-25 pounds at hot idle, suspect bad main and big end bearings and/or the oil pump. (Pressure should be 40lbs.) And if the knock doesn't go away after rpm's reach 1-1.5k, that sounds like bad news, presuming that the problem is indeed bearings ...(which it usually is). -- Martin Secrest GT6, TR6 Harlyred1@aol.com wrote: > A 1960- TR3.........slight knock at low to medium RPMs.....any ideas? |
