back again............................................. ............. god


well when i start my vehicle i hear this loud cling sound/knock (sounds like metal) sound it started 3 days ago then the vehicle revs up then all normal i will try to video tape it
at first i thought it was the belt slipping on the tensioner it still may be not sure will need to investigate more (we all know mazda belt tensioner suck dick just got my replaced and now its worse!)
issue happens maybe every 3-5 starts

it sounds like rod knock from a dry start.... this can happen when using thin oils such as 0W20, and poor quality ones like the castrol
try switching to 0W30, it should stop it... I have never heard of dry start knocks when using thicker oil
