AxelB. Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Hi all ! A bunch of noises that start to worry me a bit.. I'm going to explain the best I can when they occur and put a link with an iPhone vid. First one - Engine is cold, RPMs at 1000 to 3000 Kind of squeeky noise that appears at 45 sec - we can hear it loud at 1 min on this vid : http://youtu.be/NTijdrD3K2s Second one - Engine is cold or warm, it's always present and comes from the upper side of the engine. Was thinking about valve clearance ?.. Is this noise normal ?.. Or do I need to have a check ? http://youtu.be/EGVoOsBDJdM Third one - Kind of rattling that appeared after I pushed the engine at 3000 RPMs. Don't really know where it comes from, I took the video from behing as it avoided to have the engine sound on the vid. You'll maybe have to push your volume up to hear that one.. http://youtu.be/dj8CroMJPiI That's it.. The ones that really worry me are the 2 first.. Maybe the 2nd is kinda normal, but I'd like you to confirm me that.. And for sure the 1st will involve investigation.. Any idea ?.. Thanks a lot for your help !..

mellonman Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I would do the tipex test on your crank pulley for a start, put a line of tiptex fro the centre out across the crank pulley where the rubber seals are , start the car and then stop it and see if the lines still match as the 2 parts of ghe crank pulley maybe seperated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Take the Aux belt off as well to eliminate the belt and all the pulleys it drives but don't run for too long as it drives the water pump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 The second one needs the valve clearances checking. If they are okay, it might just be a bucket/cylinder head clearance thing, a lot have them and it's made louder by more aggressive cams. "Turn up the radio" is one solution to that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxelB. Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 Ah, I already did the crank pulley check. No probs from there, the two parts didn't move.. Then I guess I'm gonna have the valve clearances checked. Is it safe to keep driving the car or is it better to let it in the garage until it's done ?.. Many thanks guys !
