I'm not sure that this is the rigt forum to post this in but im kinda in a bind and need some help. My g/f's EG has had a horrible rattling noise from the engine at a high rpm since we swaped it in. It's a d16z6 bolted to a cx tranny. It started out almost like a real bad exhaust rattle, but it has become more of a rap. I am almost positive that number 3 piston has a bad rod bearing but my question is are these motors noted for real bad piston slap? I know it sounds kind of dumb but I need to know what parts to order tomorrow. Also, this motor only has 130,000 miles on it and has never been drove hard. Can anyone tell me why this may have happened.

 

Bump? come on i gotta keep the women happy

 

bump for help

 

bump!

 

sure its not just a really bad valve lash?

 

Thats what I was hoping for but its def. a rod.
