I've read a lot of posts in this forum. (every one for the past year and a half) and I have not heard too much about this type of problem. It does not stick out as a common problem. Now in the early 3100 motors it is a little more common!

My 87z 2.8 has a knock when its hot, but has never gotten worse, its been doing it for a year and a half. The car is still strong and fast. The sound is on the passenger side, front of engine closer to the bottom. I have asked a few people about it and they cant tell me anything. Im not experienced with engines internally or any sounds they would make.

I have heard of this. Although it is really not too common. One of the main things that I have found is that it has to do with weak lifters. I have even heard of brand new lifters causing the same problem. :roll: It is very bothersome but can be fixed.
