I haven't noticed the engine knock as yet....but, I did find that what I originally
thought was rocker arm noise at startup, was really the normal sequence of several
relays being activated in the first couple of seconds that the ignition switch is first
turned on.
I found that when I first turned the ignition switch to the "on" position without turning
the motor over, and just waited a couple seconds to allow these relays to activate,
then, when I actually started the motor, this "rocker arm noise" never happened.
..call me crazy, but this is my experience....I grew up in the muscle car days, tuned up
alot of cars in my day....so I do know what rocker arm noise sounds like...maybe I'm just
not hearing what you're hearing?? Whatchathink?
