#1 Series 1 4.2 Engine Knocking Noise.

Post by eTypeG » Fri Jul 12, 2013 11:44 pm

My 4.2 Series 1 engine is making a loud knocking noise which stops when it warms up, it's oil pressure is good and it has good power, but smokes a little. Any ideas what could be causing the knocking noise??.

Probably piston slap.
