there are alot of interesting noises KAs make. are you sure its not the timming chain thing with the stuff... okay so im not the best person to describe this.

i doubt its rod knock, but taking it to a mechanic couldnt hurt. Just pay them to check it out, not to fix it. LSD are not engine specific, just car/differential specific. LSD has nothing to do with the engine.

My KA makes noises, one of the more popular culprits is the upper timing chain guide, but I doubt you'll suffer any performance issues from that. It gets pretty loud and annoything though.

weapon x does it fire up then go "CLANK CLANK CLANK CLANK CLANK CLANK CLANK CLANK" ?

noises are hard to describe on the internet...

It's more of a ticking/scraping sound then a clank...yeah noises are hard to describe on the internet.

i got this noise, now that you mention it, does sound more like a tick comming right from the timming chain housing, in front of cylender 1 sounds like its comming from close to the top, but its hard to tell.

if you listen to wards the bottom of the engine it sounds loutder down there
thats why i though it was rod knock

take off your hood stay bar and stick one end in your ear and touch the other end to various places on the motor. then you find out where the sound is. it works like a stethascope.
