Rebuilt Motor Knock

There has been a lot of debate about re-using the intake bolts...... Supposedly, they are torque-to-yield bolts, thus, cannot be re-used. However, there is NOTHING in the service manual that talks about that.... one would think, there would at least be a note in the manual, mentioning that.....
That said, I replace them anyway. Just in case.
Before tearing anything down though, make sure that there is indeed a leak. Timing cover seals up pretty good, unless you are extremely careless, or the sealing surface on the cover is too eroded. (and I really don't think that is the case here.) Re-using the intake bolts *might* give you a leak there, and that would certainly allow coolant into the oil...... But, verify there is a problem before you try and fix it.

every person ive had listen says the same exact thjng but i know it's there😂 if you listen very closely you can hear it. Almost sounds like an exhaust leak to me but that doesn't make sense as I mainly only hear it with no load. Maybe I will find something when I drop the pan. If I don't I'm probably letting it go as "normal". Unless it gets worse
