Well I decided to polish cam covers, have been puttin it off for ages, so anyways I done one of them and decided tat i'll do the oter one in a few dayz. So I carefuly wiped gunk off the motor, so the gasket would seal nicely, i put it all back together, taking my time to do it properly and neatly .. i double checked tat everything was connected, ten i tripple checked ... and just b4 i started the car i had anoter quick check over every hose bolt etc ..

Te car started perfectly, drove perfectly, everything was good.

Anyways i went for a cruse b4 to supermarket and when pulled up I noticed that the car sounded differently, so i popped the hood, and it seems to be making a noise, almost like a knocking sound as well as a noisy kinda sound and it seems 2 be commin almost from the back section of the cover ...

Now honestly and truthfuly, this could be normal and could have always been there and ive just never noticed, usualy when im under the hood the car isnt running, so i carnt say for sure that i remember it being there or not being there. It could be all the drugs im on .. feelin a bit buggy ..and the drus will do that 2 u, make u think more till paranoia gets you ..

Either way im 2 scared to start the car now ... but it ran perfectly still, which probably means its just me ...

Can anyone help .....

does it do anything to the car if its sits tere overnight without a cam cover on ??

It was covered so nothing got in or anything, but maybe something like a sensor picks up on it so the ecu has to be reset in order for it to function properly ...

Any thoughts on this people ??

Has anyone else polished there covers and had this happen to them ????

Hey Mick,

sorry it took a while to reply.

First off, you did a bloody great job of polishing them, it looks fantastic!

About the knocking sound. I did not notice any difference in sound after I put them back on. I always get a little bit of noise when it first starts up on a cold morning, but after about 5 seconds it stops.

Unfortunately I dont live in ballarat or near there. I live in Mildura. But I do have a brother who goes to Ballarat Grammar and I sometimes go there 2 visit, but probly not for a while now :D

Sorry mate, hope ya get it sorted. Maybe try and take it off again and put it back on and double check nothing dropped in, and that the seals are in place too (thats what id do)

Andrew

    • Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)
    • For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.
    • I've had two suzukis in the past have an extremely hard time turning over and not starting after sitting for a few weeks. Ended up the alternator would seize up causing the starter to force. Same issue both times.  Maybe they're sourcing their alternators from the same place...
    • Ah right. Maybe my rb just loves chewing through batteries lol.
    • On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.
