Tick/Tapping noise
Just looking for some reassurance regarding my JDM hawkeye STI. Is this noise on cold start up fairly normal for these? Once warmed, it basically goes away completely.
These are new to me and I've heard they can be noisy, but just thought I would check. Thanks! |
From what I can hear it sounds like piston slap if cold of course. If if not look out I'm afraid.

Forged engines usually suffer more from it but some oem engines also. Some do some don't.

This sounds like my forged engine.

The jdm engine are not forged from factory haven’t been since the late 90s.
like the others have said sounds like piston slap. If it’s not using oil or coolant. Don’t worry about it, enjoy it, I’ve been where you are have a new car and worry about every new noise you hear. |

So potentially a forged unit? I know they are semi forged from factory, but there isn't much in the way of it's Japanese history.

Mine sounds EXACTLY the same when blipping the throttle. Mine's a forged 2.1 with about 6-700 miles on it.

Thanks folks, I'll just forget about it and look after it and hopefully it'll serve me well :D
