'96 Sport 1.8 DOHC Clanking Valves
#5
Dear Fixkick,
By the time you advised me, I already did flush my engine with that bottle! I poured in through the engine oil filler. Start the engine for 25 minutes and rev up two or three times during these periods of time. Then, drain out the contaminated oil and replace with the new oil and also new filter. The problem solved!! No more valve rattle during acceleration from stoplights, it accelerates harder now. However, there is one consequence to this action. Valve cover gasket starts leaking, it is still small! May be sealant would be the answer!
Thanks,
