Re: Low rpm knock

Usually if it's knocking and the oil pressure is good, it's a con rod big end bearing. Can you tell which side sounds like it's knocking? Sounds like the left. When it sounds like one side knocking, it' s usually the other side big end bearings that are shot. Either way, check both sides. Failed ma...

Low rpm knock

Patient: 81 r100rs At low idle I'm hearing a knock coming from the centre of the engine it seems. The knock goes away at normal idle and above. The knock seems to be each revolution. There is also some pinging/engine knock? at about 4- 5000 under load. That may be due to recently changing the positi...

Re: It has 'feasibility'

[quote="Chuey"][quote="ME 109"]The first two rules have adequate guidelines and quantifiers. The tird one (that's not a typo) is an ambiguous rule. Who decides "really bad"?


General consensus.

Re: top tool kit additions....

Unfortunately credit cards are as useless as tits on a bull when you're in the middle of nowhere. That's where the flare gun comes into use. :idea: Some spares I'd like to have had for my one and only RS terminal roadside breakdown in 18 years include a spare head, piston and 1/2 a top end gasket s...

All the same # spring. A $1 spring. That would be just about right. All this for a $1 spring. The one ...

Re: Collapsing oil filters

Yeah, I don't know if this IS what is causing the filters to collapse, but it COULD cause filters to collapse, and it would be very bad, but one should see the oil pressure light come on under those circumstances. I think the pressure required to crush the filter would be more than enough to keep t...
