Tapping from engine
Hi guys,
I'm sorry that all I ever do is ask you guys questions, but you are the
only ones I can go to.(Your'e still safe... I haven't been able to
answer anyone elses questions yet :) My car sometimes makes a tapping
noise when I drive it. The noise will occur when I first start the car,
and remain until the engine has warmed up (about halfway to school).
Other times, the tapping noise will suddenly appear as I accelerate from
a stoplight. What is it? I thought it might be a valve(s) or cylinder
head. If it is, can I bolt the 20v head onto my engine? I own an 85
CGT. Could I swap a used TQ5K engine for about the same price?
Thank you for your comments.
