Alright so about a week ago was driving my s14 with a ca18det swap and felt like car was losing power a lil so i pulled over in a parking lot to look at it and there wasn't much i can do caz i had no tools or anything with me so i decided to drive the car home at a slow steady speed and then see what it was in the morning but while i was leaving the parking lot the car just stopped and then wouldn't come back on so i left it over night and came and towed it home the next day. i was thinking its something electrical but after checking all the possible electrical stuff and the starter it wasn't it. so yesterday i start trying to spin the motor by hand with out starting it and at 1st it was hard but then it started getting easier but still car wouldn't start. so then i tried to push start it and that went pretty well car started right up and now it starts just fine but there is a knock coming from the engine now and im not sure if its a bearing or just a lifter. what im guessing is it could be a lifter since the car was having a hard time start before. but i would appreciate some input and advice.
Thanks in advance guys
