    Just as the subject says what is the ssh ssh sound you hear from the pistons moving up and down a sign of? You very often hear it on old beamers. What does it say about the engine if it does it when it cold or hot of both?

    Just curious really.

    Cheers

    God knows, poor compression; gas blowing past the rings or valves?
