Engine knock



  2000 X PH1 172
Hi,
What is the best way to remove engine knock,

I get heavy knock in 1st and 2nd and want to uprate engine mounts, although I don't want to uprate them all just yet, I'm going to USC at the weekend so would like it fixed for then.

Any help appreciated thanks

Best cheap way is buy some poly bushes for the dogbone mount (the one under the engine) and do this:

Undo the 4 big bolts bolting down the o/s mount.

Get a lever bar between the mount and the suspension turret (go carefull not to damage you air con pipes)

give it a bloody good heave, and the mount will slide forward - it will move a good inch, so you will need to adjust a bit, and try it.

what this does is move the engine forward, which in turn moves the exhaust manifold away from the subframe (which is the knocking you here)

dont forget to do the bolts up!
