[Yaj Yak]

so u r saying that if your car sounds like a jackhammer---- thats a bad thing?

 

[DarkShadow]

HAI i know that sound lol. its fun when it goes CLANG too if u lay on it hehe

dont know, but i better spray a 100 shot through it to make sure.

 

[BLOWN GP]

wtf howd that happen?

 

[Euro]

Sounds all too familiar to me. Sucks dude

 

[GTPNoga]

thats fucked up. That is like the 15th rod / bearing knock this month. Does GM put some crap bearings in these cars? What is going on here???

 

[BLOWN GP]

im guessing a 3.0 pulley and maybe nitrous?

lol, no nitrous and he's got a full stack i/c on an xp cam, that 3.0 is harmless. Judging by the sounds i wanna say it's a cracked flex plate. Nobody will probably agree with that but he said the sound is non-existent during idle so... If it is a spun bearing that sux, so much for an xp cam for me.

 

[BLOWN GP]

yea but i thought he was sprayin last nite to tune for the track?

 

[MuffHugger]

Call up Skip at R&R engineering. He'll hook you up if worse comes to worse.

 

[bikrboy128]

i plan to dig into it tomorrow. we will see.

 

[10sec]

yea but i thought he was sprayin last nite to tune for the track?

we were going to do that tonight, but the car decided it didn't want to

 

[bikrboy128]

yeah, i really think it's something stupid. but who knows.

it does sound like it's coming from the top end, so maybe a loose rocker bolt or something. i will see tomorrow.

 

[Sinister Drag Designs]

Check the balancer and the flexplate. We have had two OEM balancers break into two(basicly making two pulleys one in the middle of the other and both spining at different speeds. Flexplates are another weak point to check. Stock cars break them. Is it a L36 or L67 flexplate?

 

[bikrboy128]

to the best of my knowledge it's an l67 flexpate.

 

[M@]

I was gonna suggest flexplate too

doesn't sound sharp enough for a rod knock

 

[AlwaysVTEC]

i hope u get it fixed, i was hopeing for the HONDA VS Birkerboy challenge!

 

[bikrboy128]

i'm going to need land if i do. shit's falling apart.

 

[bikrboy128]

well i pulled the valve covers off today. no springs broken, no bent pushrods, nothing loose or out of place. listening to the noise more closely it seems to be the loudest at cylinder one. so i guess the next step is to drain the oil through a filter and see how much metal is in the oil.

 

[1998gpgt]

Have you taken a look at the plugs yet?

 

[bikrboy128]

yes. the plugs are still gapped correctly and look flawless.

 

[bluzohh6]

probably chunked pistons ask mook about it

 

[Mook]

i didnt chunk anything
