Built LSV Identify Tick/Knock
Ok guys I have this ticking or more like knocking sounds on light acceleration. At idle it sounds fine, but when I start accelerating it starts at about 2k rpms and is on to about 5-6k rpms and thru out it doesn't get louder but stays at about the same volume. When I let go of the peddal at 6k rpms and let it fall down to lower rpms it never ticks, only on acceleration. Also, if I'm driving at about 25mph and shift into 5th gear and press the peddal down, it doesn't tick. So it's always under no load acceleration. Vibration? I'll upload a video soon. Thanks for your help.

Oil gage reads fine, I don't think it would be a rod knock because like I said, it's fine at idle. Id doesn't get louder as the rpms increase and its golden eagle rods

I don't know. Car runs fine as always. The strange thing about this is that it stops when in gear I let go of the gas pedal and the noise stops

This motor is sleeved my golden eagle and it drives just fine. Cracked sleeve would have compression loss and drive like crap, mine drives fine

My timing belt is loose. Everytime the noise comes on, I see the timing belt just start flapping all over. And when the knock stopes than the timing belt rotates fine.

Yes it's piston style LMA's, I pulled the valve cover off and the valve clearance is .010-.011 clearance on intake valves. They should be at .06-.07. I'll adjust it soon and will see how that goes

I just adjusted the valves and still doing it. Knock comes out of the cylinder 3 because when I lift the spark plug wire out of it, it stops making that knock

Yup, most likely bottom end, no other explanations anymore. Switches the plugs around to see if it was misfiring and sounds about the same. Might be a bearing. Motor is build so I dont know if golden eagle rods would start knocking at only 418whp and Pistons are SRP 11:3:1

Nothing to do with the rods
