make a video. i made one of my car. i suspect mine has rod knock. ill dig the vid out later and post it into this thread. then everyone can compare the 2. also i changed the oil in mine and it reallly quietened it down. mines an 88 7m ge so i guess its a fairly good comparison.

what would cause an oil filter to not contain any oil when its removed during a service? i had drained the sump already but theres always some oil in a filter when its removed.

just to let you guys know i fiitted the afm off my spares car and it passed emissions at 1.99% co whereas it had been 4.5% (roughly) when it failled its emissions test. the allowed limit is 3.5% pleased it was an easy fix

would that not trigger a fault code though?
