DSM/Evo Shootout 2017


So I finally decided to take the dive, and drive to the DSM/Evo Shootout. Since the Evo is a more fun/comfortable car all around then the GSX, I decided to make a road trip of it.


Washing her at a coin wash. ( No brushed used except on wheels! )











The Bad
The shootout was a blast, however the final hours upon us leaving, my 4G63 engine started developing a tapping sound which I assume is coming from the head. After driving for a few hours ( no choice really ), the sound has considerably increased, leading me to believe either Rod Knock has developed, or some sort of Valve Train issue.



Here is a thread on it:
