Good Day All
I am new to this B18C GSR engine in my CRX... sometimes when I start it after it has been sitting for a day it sounds like possible rod or lifter noise for the first maybe 1/4 to 1/2 second at most. It could be normal for all I know, Ive never owned one. It could be I'm using the larger of the two oil filters although I thought they were interchangeable at least that far back (94), possible oil prime loosing it?
Anyone experience this?

My 327 did this crap for 6 years and never spun a bearing or kicked a rod and I am hoping that this is sometimes normal too....

Thanks!

 

i think its normal. it takes a few seconds for oil to run through the motor.

 

What weight oil are you using?

 

10W-30

Seems to run OK, got lotsa goose with it now

 

is normal my d16 does the same. possibly low oil pressure when starting

 

Just a follow up.
The Cold Idle valve UNDER the throttle body has a pintle and seat in it, the seat had backed out causing very high RPM at start. The engine diddent have enough time to build oil pressure before whipping to 2500. I screwed the seat back in and this rattle is gone, also gone is the low speed hesitation when hot and now idles at 750 hot.
