well i have been saying it for ages that io am gonna replce me timing chain....and i fialy did today YAY lol
it was stuffed but now it quieter....but not entierly quiet as in it still has that noise...no where near as bad as in people saying....is that thing gonna blow up?? lol
oh and yes replaced the tensioner..as the old one was chewed out and doing nothing.....no idea where the spring when lol as it had none haha so my guess its either lifters and/or balance shartf......but for now its quietened it down to a really quit point...untill i rev it then ya can hear a TAPPY TAPPY noise
morel to story im happy with how it turned out after all it aint a low k car (340 000 k's)\ \ cheers
I would be looking into new lifters buddy. Not a hard one to change out. I dont think that the balance shaft is making the noise you describe but i could be wrong. It is alot easier to replace the lifters than the balance shaft bearings. You should have checked the balance shaft while you had the timing cover off doing the chain :D
What's the difference between understeer and oversteer? Understeer is when the driver is scared. Oversteer is when the passenger is scared.
yeh i kinnda checked the balance shaft and it felt sus so id say it could be a combination of things but im gonna probly replace the lifters one day or whne i change me inlet manifold gasket if need be (22 bucks EACH for lifters...hmm lol)
hey buddy, i'd have a go at your idle pulley they can make a whine and a very annoying tapping noise, my sisters VS did it, we suspected the tappets needed tightening but it was the idle pulley
If it doesn't start its a Ford! If it doesn't stop its a HOLDEN!
lifters for sure jas as discussed the other night lol butt 88 vn is right, thise pulleys can make some wierd and wonderful sounds if they are on their way out....
haha cheers guys.....i can live with the noise for now....only a slight tappy noise when under load or reving the engin........not like when the chian had no tensioner....man did it sound bad lol
..now alls i have to do is replce the sump gasket and all suspension (sump gasket was rooted when timing cover came of......but then again it leaks like anything before that) thank god for ultra blue sealent.....good stuff
well went and priced lifters at supercheap (while i was in there) and there only 26 bucks for a set of 4.....lol.......cheaper then the other place i went to
