this Cory guy sounds like a top bloke and it sadens me to see such a young mans life go to waste.

to all the cocks who say hooning was involved can suck my wang coz how many of them can say they've never went 100 in a 60 zone to make the lights.

maybe he wasnt speeding maybe he was but even and 50-60Ks people still can get pretty f**ked up with some of the intersections in perth.

Thats hit pretty close to home for me, about this time last year I totalled my skyline on the fwy, slippery roads and accelerated slightly on the horse show bridge only SLIGHTLY, the back end span up and threw out instantly. I slamed into the wall at 80kmhr and rebounded off each side of the fwy about 3-4 times. was a blur. Had slight concussion and felt pretty sore all over for a month but how I walked out of it is beyond me and everytime I hear how somethn like this happened at the same sort of speed I was doing it makes me realise how much else could of happened with bad timing.

thankfully I never injured anyone else but myself and I learnt alot from it.

it brings a tear, it really does. RIP

Guys,

I understand that this is fairly close to home for some members of the forum.

But could we please not use this thread as means of finding out more personal information on the gentleman involved in this terrible accident.

I thank Brendan for the comments submitted to PerthNow,

and how insensitive some members of the public can be.

Can we please refrain from posting second / third hand information in regards to the circumstances of this accident on this forum.

A RIP or my thoughts to the family and friends of the individual are more than welcome, but the he / she said etc etc will be removed. We do not need a SAU CSI team to investigate via proxy.

A sad loss,

RIP Mate

Mike

I'm so saddened by this.

As a father of daughters in their 20's it makes me shudder.

My condolances to Coby's family and the families of all involved.

I read the comments on Perth Now and was disgusted how heartless and insular some Perth people can be.

People using a tragedy like this to push their own barrows...May you never experience anything like this first hand.

RIP Coby...never met you but wish I had.

      Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.

      Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By myrbgivesmeheadaches · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers

      This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?
