RaGnaR_RattmuFF Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 HI everyone! Have a little question. Is it the fuelinjectors or a lifter that sounds awful in the video? i know the cooling fan sound alot but try to listen to the Thicking sound.

naviathan Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 It's always tough to tell from a video. The flat tappet design cam does make a lot of noise, but I would go through and readjust the valves just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasper Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Sounds like an exhaust gasket leak. Seems to be louder on the drivers side (exhaust side), than the passenger side. Also gets louder when the throttle is cracked open. Very characteristic of an exhaust leak at the head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeron Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Try getting a large screwdriver, sticking the handle end against your ear and (carefully) set the tip against the base of each injector as it is running. Then do the same over on the passenger side of the head, near where the valve rockers are. Listen for the tapping to get louder. If that doesn't turn anything up, get a length of tubing about a meter long and stick one end in your ear.. fish the other end around the intake and exhaust flange listening for a leak. Stethoscope.. two versions, one solid, for mechanical ticking detection, one air-based, for vacuum/pressure leaks. both types also work to "listen" for flow inside hosing... If you can pick up the "sound." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
