Rod knock or dual mass flywheel?
After installing my Alradco radiator yesterday I took the car for a ride to get it up to heat. I pulled over alongside the road and reved it to about 1800 in neutral with the clutch out and I could hear what sounded like a rod knock? Back down to idle and I got nothing. Reved it back up and I could hear a rod knock sound again.
Drove it on home and pulled into the garage, reved it up to around 1800, rod knock sound again. Decided to push the clutch in at 1800 and it was quit as a mouse. Went to run to the store about a half hour later and I couldn’t get it to make that sound again. What do you guys think dual mass flywheel?

I’ll have to check oil pressure tonight and report back, but I don’t recall it being low. I would think if it were a bearing going bad it would knock/rattle at idle and it doesn’t do that, just around 1800rpm and only with the clutch out. If it were low or “0” wouldn’t a light or something come on?

But yes I have the same issue. At idle its quiet, at 1800+ rpms its loud. Its the flywheel. This only started happening the minute I put in the UMI Motor mounts.
