Weird noise my engine is experiencing. Dont really know what it is... But if you could let me know i would really appreciate it. Thankyou

 

That sounds like your valvetrain to me.... Need to got your valves adjusted. When they get loose they make a lot of noise like that.

 

figured thats what it was. Doesnt do it all the time which is weird.... but i guess ill get it done

 

lads i have a really weird one also, but the last day i started to move the top plastic timing cover that covers the cam pullys and the noise started to change and dissaper as i moved the cover in and out, im guessing the cover is hitting of one of the pullys making a weird rattlen noise?

 

^If the timing covers are rattling then it's more than likely from the rubber seal around them deteriorating, nothing to worry about but pull the valve cover to make sure the timing belt is ok and not walking off the gears or anything.

 

cheers thanks, now that i think of it the rubber seal is missing on the cover and theres a stud also missing for the cover.

 

^Well then there's your rattle, uses a special bolt btw, don't stick some trailer hitch hardware from home depot in there.

If I were the OP I'd start with a valve adjustment, if you have some basic skill with cars you should be able to do it no problem, just do it cold, best is first thing in the morning before the car has been driven any.

 

yeah i just need to figure out the cam layout for TDC and then the 90 degrees for each cylinder... if anyone has it feel free to send it my way... H22A4

 

It's 1-3-4-2 going counter clockwise where up is 1 of course. Specs are...

Intake: 0.15mm-0.19mm(0.006in-0.007in)
Exhaust: 0.17mm-0.21mm(0.007in-0.008in)

 

So from TDC you start with 1, 90 degrees counter clockwise 3, another 90 degreescounter clockwise 4 and then another 90 degrees and 2?

 

Yup.
