i got a new eg and there is a loud deep noise comming from the engine...is this what its supposed to sound like when i need a valve adj??? sounds deep as hell....kinda sputtering too...thanx

 

I belive a ticking noise is when you need a valve adjustment, have you checked oil lately?

yea...i just drove it again...it does tick...but the deep rumble is still there...im gettin my oil changed on monday...can anyone explain the deep rumble??

 

Im not sure, when you change your oil use mobil 1 synthetic, that can give u a smoother idle sometimes. You may need a valve adj. if it ticks a lot.

 

This post sounds familar...
first of all does it sound like this: http://geijn.lagcity.com/gti/



no really.. there was just a thread about this.. and the same thing happended to my engine... it ended up being a rod bearing..
valves should be more of a tick.. not a loud deep noise..
drain your oil and look for flakes.. or take off your oil pan and look for flakes

 

the engine sounds like a low tone from an exhaust.
what is that?

at high rpms its not as loud...but at WOT its loud as heck
low and mid range it makes alot of noise...

 

um is there an intake on the car? Or is the resinator missing?

 

exhaust leak maybe?

 

hey bom...you should come over with your book and we could take a look and diagnose the problem...hehehe

 

problem diagnosed with a flash light and peak in the engine

exhaust pipe broke off from the flange of the header
anybody know a way to fix that without gettin a new pipe?
