New Wasteland Wa Topic

[Beyond Blue R33]

Yeah did a oil change Saturday. Had done 7000 so will change at 5000 now religiously it disappeared at idle after the change and is only 2800-3200 on no6 under gentle acceleration in second? Rattle rattle - gone? No noise with 6 coil pack disconnected! Weird.

how loud is it? 
 
not sure if you can use an oil flush to get the gunk out... they arent too bad to clean apart from having to get them out. there are also a couple different varieties on our engines. look the same externally but different sizing internally

Haven't pulled the cam cover but goes away with no 6 H.t. Disconnected? So I would assume a cam lifter follower issue? Seeing as its on the exhaust side?

Can only pick up the rattle in 2nd gear under mild acceleration?

 

 

 

 

U should have a lisren to my engine, rattles at idle (suspect the turbo may well be dying lol) about 3k its got a ting ting noise and at the top it sounds like a big ol straight six on heat ? 

Wouldnt be lifter, weather u disconect the coil or not it the lifters gonna do its job. However, if u disconnect the coil and it goes away ur taking the combustion away from that cyclinder. So id be looking for a leaky manifold around nunber 6 or anything in general todo with number 6

Yeah i panicked at first thinking ouch turbo, bearings, piston slap, gudgeon pin, big end knock etc. but can fully pinpoint the sound to no6 rear exhaust cam cover at only that tiny rev range. Will sus it out better on the w/end? Might need a real mechanic! Would assume tig welding it won't help!

tig welding fixes everything

Will suss it out better Saturday. Thanks for the advice guys, I appreciate it. It will give me a better starting point for trouble shooting. Never owned or worked on a car with a turbo or the cam shaft/s in the right spot except the last 8 months. Show us your v8's. She's running absolutely trick except for that! My wife and jack recond the noise is in my head! What noise! (perhaps the loony bin would be a better fix?) done all the turbo/dump pipe studs gaskets etc. So will check the manifold.

when you drive something often enough you can hear noises before anyone else or before it becomes a problem

Spent 3 months of weekends when I got it fixing rattles blips blurts knocks and bumps! Only drive her on w/ends. The captain always goes down with his ship. Then emerges with less money and More power!

I remember having issues with the escort (when I was 18) flushed and cleaned everything new radiator, heater core, plugs points gaskets leads jets etc. I was putting a new head gasket on when dad came out and wiggled the no.4 piston with his hand. Think I found your problem mate! Sell it now.
