Last my and friend changed out the timing belt. Mostly him though. Everything was dead on. I just attempted to start it and it sounded like crap.

**got a new basemap because i just put a turbo on it too.**

I heard something in the timing belt cover like **** was flyin around in there. So i took off the valve cover and that, and looked at the cam gears. The two dots were both pointing at 10 o'clock. I thought that they were supposed to be opposite. Could this be why it sounded like ****? I think the belt was jumping time and that was the noise i was hearing. Could i have bent a valve? it only ran for like 10 seconds.

 

hey i think i have the same problem as you. It's after i swapped a motor in. Can u check my video and see if it sounds like yours?

Also... i have a B16A2... im using CTR cams with cam gears that were used in a GSR head (made for a GSR). Is this a problem?

 

Very similar sound but mine was MUCH worse. Like i said, it sounded like **** flying around behind that timing belt cover. Without that then yes. Same thing i guess.

 

i think i may have figured out the noise from the timing belt cover. Right below the cam gears there a piece of the lower timing belt cover that goes around it. Its rubbing agaist the inside of the cam gear. Hopefully that stops the noise. Idle still sucks *** though.
