So...I started the motor with the heads/cams
I have to fix some exhaust leaks and get a new pcv valve in order to get it to run right and hear the motor clearly but there is definately some noise coming from the drivers side head. I am hoping that its just the lash adjusters being really noisy since they have been dry for a few months and that it will go away. How long does it typically take for lash adjuster noise to go away?
|
i recently replaced all 32 (4v motor) of my lash adjusters and the sound had pretty much stopped when the engine was warm.
|
Lovely....pray for me lol
|
What heads (more importantly what intake valve was used) and what cams did you install?
|
Oh we're praying lol...
|
It was sxynerds old set up. And I had the cams degreed properly. They are patriot stages 2 heads with upgraded parts and cms 2.5 blower cams
|
Oh ok...well then idk...id say you should be good to go..but then im not a mechanic by any means. lol
But that should be a great set up. You should probably look into a forged bottom end...cuz you're gonna be pushin a lot more power now! |
It will take few miles mine took almost like 200 until the noise went away since the cams and springs were dry fro 4 months.

I took it for a spin and the car is still making that kinda knock-like noise it made last time which is why I pulled the motor and got it looked at in the first place. So it must be in the trans since that is the only thing that i haven't changed. Its throwing 3 fuel related codes, one for the sending unit which is why its reading below E on the gauge. It must be stuck from sitting for so long. The other two are P0453 FTP sensor circuit and P0190 fuel rail pressure sensor so I am gonna have to fool around with those |
I will be honest in that I install new lash adjusters dry and if the motor isn't totally silent in about 3 seconds after the initial start there is a problem somewhere. Either the lash adjuster is sticking or something is clearancing itself if it takes more than few seconds for any noises to go away.
