Administrators BRAAP Posted January 13, 2011 Administrators Share Posted January 13, 2011 From the video it does seem to have some issues but with such poor picture and audio quality and lack of any input textual input, there is absolutely NO way anyone will be able discern what is or is not taking place that should or should not be taking place within your engine bay. Fuel filter plugged, exhaust leaks, wiped out cam lobe, now oil pressure, busted pistons skirt, timing chain tensioner gone, bearings in the alternator or water pump gone, vacuum leaks, etc. Could be any of those, combination, or something totally different. Keep in mind this is HybridZ, a forum dedicated to high performance modification to Z cars, not a basic Mechanics 101 trouble shooting and diagnosing type forum, nor is this forum a replacement for a service manual and/or basic mechinical trouble shooting skills. Get a service Manual, even if its just a Haynes manual and start going through it applying some basic trouble shooting techniques. Once you've exhausted that, then come back with details and specifics or what testing you have done, results of that testing and your questions regarding those results. If basic mechanic skills are not one of your strengths then take it to a reputable shop, preferably one that is familiar with the Z car and have them look it over. Off the top of my head from that video, the noises are VERY hard to discern with the poor audio quality. The loud tapping type noise, based on frequency and when it happens vs not resembles exhaust leak at the manifold to head interface, again poor audio quality makes it hard to discern. If you suspect under the valve cover, then pull the valve cover and inspect the cam lobes, rockers valve springs etc for anything abnormal. While the cover is off, verify valve lash, (covered in your service manual). Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
