scar

OK here is the problem.

I am somewhat mechanically inclined.. not much but a little.. I have had a

cv joint to go out. This doesn’t resemble that in any way. Turning will not

affect this noise. I just replaced the brakes last week… everything looks good

and tight. No loose bearings. Engine is very quite..No noise there.

Its not my engine. it runs very quite and smooth.

Could be my engine mounts but when I crank car and rev it up it doesn’t move

much and seems ok. No noise there that I can tell.

When I first take off in the morning about 5mph it sound like some knocks on

the side of my car about 4 or 5 times. It will not do it again usually until the

next morning. (so i thought) see below on how i finaly got it to duplicate.....

It sounds like its coming from the front right side (passenger side). Not

sure. I usually listen to radio on the way home so I only heard it in the

morning but now after research I realize its does it when I leave for home as

well.

Here is what I have narrowed down. I am hoping someone here has seen this before

or knows what I am talking about.

1. I thought it only happened when I left in the morning

2. I could drive from here to NC and it would not do it again...Nothing

3. If I drive down our road and would stop and start again.... Nothing

4. If i put the car in park and then move it to Drive and accelerate....Nothing

5. Put car in Neutral and stop and then move to drive and

accelerate....Nothing

6. Move car from reverse to Drive then takeoff....Nothing

7. Put car in park and let idle then take off…. Nothing

7. Pulled in to store and went shopping. When I left... It happened

again. 4 or 5 knocks

8. During drive home, stops signs, lights, etc....Nothing

9. Next morning leaving for work.... It happened again. 4 or 5 knocks

I have now figured out how to duplicate it each time. It doesn’t

matter if it’s cold or hot, in drive or reverse, turning or going straight,

accelerate easy or stomping it. It will only do it if I shut the car down and

then I crank the car and then when I go to take off it will do it again. It

will not do it again until I turn car off and then re-crank it.

Also please note: I drove down my road about 3 mph for about 300 yards.

Nothing...then when I slowly speed up to about 5 or 6.... It happened again. 4 or 5

knocks

HELP!!!!

I have a 95 Johnson V4 130 HP. I posted a earlier question about it over heating and i was wondering if it has poppet valves and where are they?

I have changed the impeller and water pump housing and gasket, both t-stats and gaskets, both head gaskets and new bolts torqued to specs. It is pumping water out the tell tale. Water pressure is 7 at idle and 30 at WOT. It heats up to about 160 at idle and around 180 to 190 after i get over around 4000 to 5000 rpms. then the alarm goes off. What else can it be.
