well as we all know i have that wonderful knocking coming from my engine. i was lead to believe it may be a blown cylinder as the s2k is known for. but i have one quick question. For those folks whom did come accross the scouring cylinders did you notice black smoke or any type of bypassed oil burnage or smell? I am not getting any of this. It would seem with a problem such as a scoured cylinder wall would let some type of different emission. The ticking is rather loud so its not like its hardly there. It is coming from the front left side of the block. Another question, has anyone come accross different issues when it comes to knocking.?? thanks
