I have this knock when I first start my car in the morning. Almost like there is no oil there at first. Its only a few knocks then it goes away. Anyone else get that or know what it is or if its normal?
I have the exact same 'few' knocks on my '90 5.0 mt when I start it up. Not sure whats goin on but irs so small that I don't worry too much. I barely have time to disengage the clutch or shift into a gear to mess around with the noise Some people recommend switching oil filters. Haven't tried that yet.
I might have more insight to what this problem is if you get some nitrous and :Track:
+2, need a filter with the drain back valve on it. I use the Motorcraft filter, but mine still knocks just a little at startup if it sits for several days without cranking it. If I crank it every day, it doesn't.
That is odd about the filter thing. I was aware of the anti-drainback valve, but I had to switch from the motorcraft to a wix filter to eliminate the knocking.
