Big Rattle In My Rb26 Cylinder Head

[drifter 33]

my gtr has a massive rattle in the cylinder head, as soon as this started i quikly turned the motor off and havent started it since

it was low on oil

does anyone have any idea on what it may be?

thanks in advance

i dare say u may have done a big end bearing. pretty common with rb engines . and the fact it was low on oil may further strengthen my assumption. but hey hope im wrong buddy. does the rattle noise get quicker as the revs go up?

Another RB26 with big end gone , time for a re-build. These engines don't hold much oil, run them low .... you are looking for trouble ...

What do you mean exactly by run them low ???

it was low on oil

This is what I mean, low on oil, they don't hold enough as it is and he was low as well, not enough oil in the sump , the pump picks up air, no oil in the bearings, guess what happens next???
