Alright So heres the story, I have an 89 Xj with a 95 engine in it.
The engine was running fine after it got replaced, it had a leaky thermostat housing and needed a new coolant bottle and t-stat. Alright so i replaced all of that and gave it an oil change and new coolant yesturday. It ran fine for a day, but I kept having this clatter that would only come when the engine used to get hot. I taught after doing all that it wouldnt go away but it didnt. If i had to describe the sound, I'd say it sounds like a diesel car with bad valve adjustment. If anyone can point me in the right direction... Thanks.
Oh sorry i forgot to add something, its only upon acceleration, when it idles its fine.
