Re: Engine Knocking sound RB30

Sounds like it could be big end bearings, which is probably why it was a free car May also be the injectors squaling, which is common but does not cause any mechanical problems. Lifters are also a common problem.

RB30 motors are pretty cheap as they were also used in the VL commodore so when the existing motor goes bang, just put in a new motor

The RB30 motors are near indestructable though. I would recommend a 2.5" exhaust and a set of extractors if you want a bit more fun from the 3L motor though
