My A15 sudah K.O.

Heard this stupid knocking sound that day. It goes " tong tong tong " when revving. I had this problem abt 6 months back. I opened it and noticed that piston ring from a piston broke, and another piston cracked.

I changed it. And now, after 6 months the sound is heard again.
White smoke's comin from my rocker cover breather.

*Need to examine why it hancur so fast...

Need to overhaul soon. Damn. Now sounds like a V8 or a boxer engine.

i agree with you DV on this... but the case only for japan engines... most A15 available in the market is from local vanette which is made from local materials which are inferior.

Jee1, i think your valve seal already gone... that is why you suffered white smoke coming out of the breather. this is also true if you have a bent valve.

knocking sound comes from the ignition timing and the AFM. check on your timing advance. plus make sure you're not running too lean. these can cause knocking that can damage your piston and valve seal.

also make sure your tappet gap is not too small that the valve manage to hit the piston top.

Errm..surely im not gonna get a new A15. Coz i have 2 A15 lying in my hse..Besides, a new A15 is not guaranteed to be cun..

OCP, my dist timing is good. Air Fuel ratio mixture - i suppose its ok...not lean..i took the car to my formen today, he said confirm piston rign gone. Now tunggu masa for piston to jam. I have to tolerate this situation. Im purposely running a little rich now to avoid piston jam...must save money for overhaul.

Its gonna cost me abt rm400-500
