OK.. Heres one for you engine Guru's Stock 1600 T3 (rebuilt myself) with 53Kmi on it. For the last 40K maybe once every month or 2 when started cold I get a rapping sound. Clack.. clack. clack.. which slowly goes away in 20-30 seconds. What I know: 1) its not a pressure fed bearing as it doesn't go away or change when the oil press comes up 2) its not heads as new heads were installed last year 3) its not serious as its been there once in while for the last 40 K or so. I know its hard without hearing it but any thoughts?? 1 other note: the crankshaft gear went on more easily than usual when I assembled it, wasn't the usual press fit it just slipped on and now I have some cam gear noise at idle. could it be related??
