Big end beaing gone?
Hey,
Just noticed something lately in my sti, when i start it up, it idles very smooth.
But when i just touch the accelerater, theres like a small bit of knocking. This goes out of it after a few mins when its warmed up. And also on a high rev there is no knocking sound(sounds like prr.rrr.rrrr.rrrr)
A guy told me he thinks the big end bearings are going?
any help? Theres also only 27k miles on the engine so its like new.
