engine noise, load related, exhaust leak? piston? Posted by joe [Email] (#444) [Profile/Gallery] (more from joe) on Fri, 28 Oct 2005 02:50:00 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
our 88 900 turbo has a constant ticking noise, coming from area near cylinder #1. it appears when cold, and once warmed up, is heard only under load. it is very rhythymic, and is not heard under no load, or light load. i am thinking this eliminates chain rattle, and bad lifters. my only other thoughts are leak at manifold, cracked manifold, or a piston knock. i tightened the manifold nuts, no change. i can't feel any exhaust leaks around manifold, but this is only at idle.
any ideas? thnx..joe
