Oil Change

Postby TerryTurbs on Sun Jul 01, 2007 6:12 pm

Hi i just changed my oil and filter and everything seems ok. The old oil was like treakle and i am now using mobil motorsport1 15/50 f/s.

When turning engine over to warm oil etc to get perfect level.....it was farting and there seemed a flat spot and a hiss when gently revving, also the tappets were real noisy and there was a real loud knocking in same area. I have just run it and it seems fine now, sorry about the "story" i just looking for some reassurance as it was empty on jacks etc for over an hour.......this is normal?

Cheers Terry T rim

Advice etc is well apreciated :D

you dont say how loud the gasp is so it could be induction.

also does it sound like its air escaping or air being sucked in?
