So I recently put together a frankenmotor for a friend. Her car ran GREAT for about 3 days and in traffic all the sudden it just out of no where sounded like it was knocking. Tore it down look like it had jumped a tooth. So I took a spare set of 2.2 heads with cams in them and swapped them over with a new belt and what not. No metal in the oil pan.
I reused the tensioners as they are only 20kish miles old from her old 2.2.
My question is does the earlier generation (pre 97) have tensioner pulley failures? I don't see why all the sudden the motor would just start knocking like crazy at a dead stop and then shut off.
