It’s my last semester in college and I’m busy as hell doing the whole job application and interview thing. Hopefully I’ll hear some good news soon, but that’s not why you’re reading this. You came here for car related stuff, right?
Right before I got back to school the 02 was perfect, well, perfect for me. Got to enjoy it for about a month. Then one of the shifter bushings broke and the shifter sagged to the bottom right and shifting was difficult, but doable. I figured I would fix it one weekend when I went home. Well, I never had the chance. the day after I met up with some 02 friends, I driving the piss out of my car and I develop a misfire and a knock. I’ve been diagnosing the car on and off for about a month, but I haven’t really done much past a compression test and a few other minor tests. So, hopefully I’ll be able to figure something out after I graduate. Thanks for reading. Here are some recent pics.
Towing the car home with the help of a good friend
Compression test time. Unfortunately I didn’t get any answers. I was ready to take the head off and get to work.
Helping a friend out with his dead CRV
Parked next to my friend’s FoST
About 1/4 of the 02 gang (and an e30 M3)
New to me seats, that were free. So much better than the old horsehair seats.
Pure sex
Video of the knock. I’m thinking it’s something in the bell housing. I have great compression, there’s no smoke, and the motor runs on all 4.

Howdy! Sorry to hear about the problems, but glad you’ve been out enjoying the car to that point. That sounds like it’s in the valvetrain, not deep enough to be a rod knock (source: my current ‘68 had a rod knock when I got it). Pull the valve cover off and see if you broke a rocker arm.

I’ve already checked. All the rockers are fine. Compression in each cylinder is fine 1-130 2-120 3-115 4-170. Right now my plan is to readjust the valves, put fresh plugs in and start searching with a stethoscope. I think it’s something with the tranny because the sound was coming from the firewall and when the knocking started I felt the knock through the clutch pedal. The sound, like you said is too light to be from the bottom end. Still don’t have anything concrete, but I’ll find it and keep you posted.

That’s a pretty big disparity in compression numbers with #4 so high... good to start with the valve adjustment.

I adjusted them in the Spring, so they shouldn’t be too off. Anything above 120 if fine, though.
