Re: knocking noise from the engine bottom

so in order to keep the forum a little less crowded, i post here:P

the engine is causing me lots of problems and it's getting worse every day

1:trouble starting it up...the starter sounds real good but it doesn't fire up in less than 4 seconds...even when i press the pedal all the way, doesn't do much and when it finally starts it makes lots of smoke...looks like water vapor but smells kinda like burnt oil&water vapor

2:want to change the timing belt next weekend(finally!)...any last min tips? good belt brand?!

3:there is this new ZZZ ZZZ ZZZ sound from the engine (totally audible from the exhaust) I'll post a vid of that tomorrow

4:i took the knock noise to a mechanic friend of mine...he said it's from the exhaust and nothing serious! trust or recheck?

5:warm air is coming down my feet...AC is off obviously!

other than the engine, everything is working and i'm actually very pleased with the transmission! which is odd!

but i was thinking that all these problems happened in the first 200 miles i drove it!!! am i doing something wrong?!

i could use every single advice on all of those so don't hesitate:P
