err no not really, i love the sound of them and have driven quite a few but I cant afford to run one at the moment and would rather have something more practical yet fast at the same time hence why I had the Impreza.berty said

The grit you found in your engine could well be particals from not running a filter but they tend to muck up the carb not get into the oil but if they got passed the valves then maybe. Its more likely to be really fine bits of your engine ground down into what now looks like grit. I would use a decent mineral oil to start with once you've re-built it and stick to a decent brand, then goto a semi once fully run in

right where was i , the golf was knocking so i changed the mains the big ends and the thrush end float things. i put it all back together with love and nice running in oil and yes it still knocks no change what so ever.so its not the bottem end,some say its it could be the little ends,some say it could be a loose cam belt or cam belt pully,crank pully or even the. flywheel
who knows what the noise is and to be honest i dont care the thing runs faultless with loads of power,pull,smoothness and grunt and in any case you can only here the knock when the car is in a inclosed space like a garage, its that small.
every body i know has listened to this knock and 90% have said its nothing dont worry, so sod it i am not going to, i am just enjoying the car now yes i will run it in for another 1000 miles and thats it then i am going to give it a dame good thrashing.
i will keep my ears open on the knock and if it gets any worse ill be back.
ps thanks for everybodies help
