Hi Lads,

I've got a MY 97 scoob and only just changed from a JDM WRX. Now on start up there's a tapping noise until everything is warmed up. This could be the valves, is this usual?

Also, on start up after a run there is a mechanical clunk from what sounds like a worn engine mount. Does sound right to you guys?

Cheers

Could be Piston Slap ?
Most common on MY 98 models.

Do a search for it, there will be loads of threads about it, may be of some help.

Thanks for that, sounds like piston slap alright. Will just keep an eye on it.
