[s-cars] Tat..Tat Noise in Engine

[brian hoeft]

yeah maybe lifters,, maybe injectors

but grant, i wouldnt be so quick to scold max on his fuel unless you know
him and the region he buys his fuel from very well.

if youre relative neighbors, maybe, but from what ive learned, simple
numbers like 89/91/95 whatever,, are way different on other sides of the
ocean, as well as other factors.

my 20v w/25 psi of rs2 boost doesnt sip anything but eastern american '93,
but my stage 3/4 10v 5k ran fine on '91

regardless max, unless it gets noticeably worse, tearing down and rebuilding
that motor will not be cheap, and youll probably sleep better w/the $$$
still in your bank account.

speaking from experience w/the previously mentioned 5k,, enjoy it while it
lasts.
