Yesterday my motor started knocking. It's more of a vibration noise. Clunks a little bit at low RPM's/idle, but hums and increases to vibration as you accelerate or rev. It also stalls out when you push the clutch in to come to a stop. I took the valve cover off and noticed nothing abnormal. Motor is rebuilt 30 over and less than 10K on it. Figured a rocker might be loose or something. Checked all the nuts and bolts, everything's tight. Looks straight and clean. I'm thinking a bad cam lobe? Or cam bearing? I don't know, I need some help. This sucks, I hate my car. :thumbdown Any help is greatly appreciated. I live on Cape Cod if there's someone nearby. My turbo has also been screwing up lately, running a mere 9psi mostly, and 16psi sometimes. Getting a lil glow too.
