Re: svx sounds diesel
yes i know, an old thread bump....
i was looking to see if anyone else had a svx that sounded like a diesel when it was running. keep in mind this is my first svx but not my first boxer engine (H4 or H6) so i know what they typically sound like. comparing it to the videos on youtube i cant what is causing mine to sound as loud as it does. here are some of the ones i found to compare Idle video 1 idle video 2 i plan on taking a video of mine and posting it up here

Re: svx sounds diesel
Mine sounds a little dieslish now. Mainly due to neglect, hope it will be creamy smooth again when the engine is pulled and overhauled.

Re: svx sounds diesel
I agree with Jake that its rod bearings but I also think its an oiling problem because my car only does it sometimes.
