sounds like it needs a valve adjustment

 

and i cant tell what noise its making when theres 18 seconds left in the clip.. almost sounds like a pinging/knocking

 

heh, let me host another one. I guess i'll just take it to the dealership.

 

Its really hard to tell with a video but it does sound a bit louder than mine.

 

Yeah i know its hard to tell. The video actually kinda makes it seem louder than normal. Maybe i'm just trippin'...

But I think i'm going to get it looked at.

 

where did you get the motor from ?

 

Fairly sure it a sounds like a valve problem to me, not sure what but. What about your gaskets what shape are they in. Hard to hear with other noises going at the same time.

 

that sounds like *** dude. I'd start with valve lash adjustments. If not, bust out the stethoscope and start isolating where the noise is coming from.

There should be a sticky about isolating the noises coming from your car. The basics are you need a stethoscope and probably a 2 foot long hollow tube of an inch or so in diameter. The stethoscope is self explanatory. Your probe your motor to hear where the sound is coming from. Do this only after you use the long hallow tube up to your ear to identify approximately where its coming from.

 

I got it from hmotorsonline.


I cant pinpoint where its coming from using a screwdriver. Sounds the same to me across the valve cover. The sound is faint, if your ear is on the valve cover you can hear the ticking though.

Takin her to the dealership

thanks everyone
