Cold cold(under 30dg) start sounds super weird
So basically when I start my car and it’s super cold, like freezing, it starts and sounds like a diesel / has an exhaust leak almost / maybe about to send a piston thru the block and say hi. But when it warms up it’s totally fine and doesn’t sound any different from a good healthy motor. Anyone got insight on this? Thanks

What weight oil are you using? Honestly it sounds normal to me. I've started/ran my car as low as -20f. Just give it a little time to get heat into the oil before flogging on it

Sounds like a boxer engine running at below freezing temperatures to me as well. The injectors get noisy as hell around freezing.
My sounded like that every start for every winter for 6 years and I expect the same sound from the 86. Don't panic all is good.

Awesome thank you. Because both my friends who had their 86s while I had mine, have both blown their motors, one did the recall and one didn’t. And I’ve gone and money shifted it like 500rpm over redline about twice so I was wondering if it was catching up. Honestly sounds very scary haha. Thank you Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Haha well once it was me and once my friend. It’s because going straight down from the middle lands you on the gate of 2nd and 4th, so sometimes a downshift from 5th will land you in 2nd instead of 4th. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
