Valvetrain noise
Hello, i have about 900 miles on my FR-S.. I cant say i broke it in exactly like the manual states.. but for the most part i have been easy on the engine until recently on a trip up and down the local mountain big bear.. But this noise has been there since ive got the car.. It had roughly 25 miles on it and ive had it about a week and a half now.. I dont remember the noise the day of the test drive but the AC was on max. Anyways this is my first water cooled opposed 4 cylinder. I am a huge air cooled WV fan, and i know they make quite a bit of noise, so maybe this is normal. The noise is very noticable around 2k and 4k.. it sounds just like the valves are maybe a little on the loose side.. like a rattle.. it has a bit of rattle in the higher rpm to around 6k but not as bad.. it makes me a bit nervous but like i said maybe its normal.. so far i expected the exhaust to sound more like the WRX being as they have the same design for the engine.. anyways if others are having this same issue it would make me feel much better.. Thanks
