Found out why my motor is making a loud rattling noise... I took off the valve cover.

Cranked the motor by hand...and what do you know, the timing belt is jumping
1 notch every time i crank it a few degrees. This rattling noise happened after I was boosting it hard on the highway.

 

hope you didnt bend a valve
check your belt tensioner.

 

Been there done that..turned out to be a f'd up set of cam gears. I'd suggest a new tensioner, stock cam gears, and a new belt for starters. Are you running upgraded springs?

 

****, somehow the tensioner untensioned. I set everything back to TDC and retorqued it to 40 ft-lbs is that enough?

Car runs fine now. ****, so close to bending valves.

 

damn man u have been going through some **** last couple months......


by the way I got my turbo on

 

did u get a turbo kit or go custom

 

custom and hondata, my hondata is acting strange though

 

yeah you better get it fixed right away. i had the same problem. it shot my waterpump while it was makin all that noise, too.

 

would bent vlaves cause the car to run shitty on 5 PSI. Meaning not letting the car generate more than 5PSI of boost as well as take a while to get to 5PSI????

 

When you tension the belt, loosen the tensioner, then turn the cam gears as hard as necessary towards the back of the car to put all the slack back there, then tighten the tensioner bolt to 40ft-lb. I wouldn't go past 40, It'd be easy to strip that bolt.

 

that should put all the tension to the FRONT and slack to the BACK right???

 

Haha I'm stupid. I english speak well. Post done edited fixed good now. Thanks steve.
