What Did You Do To Your Car Today?

Something is going on with that engine. Something is loose or not getting the appropriate amount of oil.

 

[RAU03MACH]

Oil pressure is good put another Guage on the oil port to test shows good
Its definitely got good tourq and power is there
And its not stumbling
Hit the throttle has a very good response

 

[RAU03MACH]

I'll probably remove the passenger side valve cover
Its in that area

 

[badass98svt]

Put some thicker oil in that bitch, that should shut her up.

 

[apsmith49921]

Working on installing the wideband

 

[RAU03MACH]

Iv got 10\30 in it now

Oh snap, that's what I was going to suggest. I'd def pull the valve cover and see what you find in there. Hopefully you can sneak it off without much getting in the way. I was able to do so with my car.

I would do 5-30. It’s critical to get oil to the parts fast during start up. The thicker the oil the longer it takes to reach rotating parts.

Im questioning a bad follower bad lifter, or at the worst, some kind of ptv issue

While that is true, it doesn't help him in this case. He said he drove 20 miles and it still makes the noise. That's plenty of time for everything to warm up and reach all the passages.

 

[RAU03MACH]

Started with 5 20 and changed it to 10/ 30
But ya I an going to remove the cover

 

[RAU03MACH]

I think its a rocker I just need to look at the two rear passenger side
Thats where my noisey basturd crying at

 

[RAU03MACH]

20 miles with this noise your average chevy would drop dead

 

[RAU03MACH]

And then the abuse I put it through yesterdsy

 

[RAU03MACH]

Trouble shooting a little more leads me to this
Lots of noise

 

[Snorky]

Transmission??

 

[J_lope82]

Trouble shooting a little more leads me to this
Lots of noise

Oh damn your flex plate bro

 

[J_lope82]

Bolts are loose or flex plate is cracked

 

[white95]

I’d take that over internal engine trauma anytime.

 

[RAU03MACH]

I put the car on my lift
You hear it louder
I'm thinking the plate is bent
I know the torque converter bolts are tight
I would much rather pull a transmission than the engine
