I got this mr2 for a really good deal, I knew it was knocking when I bought it. Is it rod knock? Piston slap? Pistons hitting a valve? Spun bearing? The guy I bought it from said “he messed around under the valve cover” so could this just be the timing is off and the pistons are hitting the valves? https://youtu.be/yKFAmfeaycs
