    Knocking from head very warn

    Hello
    Was out driving my car today and did some wot and drove it hard
    The came to a stop and the car ran in idle.
    But it startet knocking from the head
    It went away with some throttle
    And came again in idle. It idle for lile 30 to 1 min and the the knocking went away?
    Im running fresh 10/50 and hp os around 400 450 but dont know
    Im think a hyd lifter? Or a friend of mine said that an s2 could havde problems with oil returning from the head?
    Did some googling but did not find anything 😕
    Any ideas
    Btw rod bearings and crank bearings are newish 6000 km

        Possibly hydraulic lifter, mine does exact same thing, but I'm sure of what it is is mine, pull the valve cover off and try to depress each lifter with something blunt, might want to do this when the car is making the noise, not when it's gone silent

            Check the oil level, if it's not at the top then this happens. I have a brand new engine, lifters etc. etc. and it's still happened if the oil level isn't towards the top

                Why? Something wrong with your oil pickup tube?

                  Think mine got a bad lifter
                  Was on track here in the weekend and it did it again
                  Maybe its the 10/50 oil?
