Oil burn, cylinder 1 knock..HELP!

Re: Oil burn, cylinder 1 knock..HELP! (A2DubNut)

what kind of knock? spark knock? rod knock? under heavy acceleration or loads? more info would help...miles too

Re: Oil burn, cylinder 1 knock..HELP! (Tornado2dr)

idle speed knock, sounds low...main bearing? mabye...however, could it possibly be from the a/c compressor? previous owner tepped a snowbank hard enough to rupture a line and let go all of the refrigerant.
I can't really tell...
158 K and I just bought the car about 1 1/2 months ago.
planning an engine (bottom end) swap, but I need to get through the vermont winter.

probably hydraulic lifter tap... need to replace some lifters, normal for the miles...
