Hi Guys,
I'm pretty green when it comes to mechanics so please bear with me.
When starting up my van I get a clonk sound from the engine as if something sticking and then releasing. Is that normal or an indication that something is up?
Sorry if that is a bit vague.
Thanks,
Tim.

exhaust hitting something?
if your mounts are shot the engine shake on start up will rock the exhaust a lot
