My friend and I just put in a new head gasket on my 1994 Civic. It was doing fine and today on the way home from work, the steering wheel started to vibrate a bit and I heard a knocking noise on the left side. When I accelerate the noise stops. When I let off the gas it starts again. When out of gear it starts again.

Could it be the lug nuts not tightened enough?

Could it be the crank pulley bolt coming loose?


Help....

crank pulley coming loose wouldn't cause that. Check everything in your suspension and make sure nothing is loose there. What you're mentioning is usually caused by suspension problems.

 

Two of the lug nuts were loose. One was so loose I unscrewed it by hand. Noise has stopped and car is running good.

Just want more hp now. lol.
