Rattling noise in the head, FOLLOW-UP Posted by ZAAB [Email] (#685) [Profile/Gallery] (more from ZAAB) on Fri, 4 May 2012 08:18:27 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
A few weeks ago, I had recorded a video of the noise coming from the top of the engine...
Most people agreed that it was lifters, and some people took shots at bad maintenance efforts resulting in this noise (dick).
Not lifters, not chain, not chain guard.
Water pump mostly, and alternator shaking from bad rebuild...not sure which caused which since they run in tandem off the same belts.
She's Quiet as a 900 can be now, no clicking noise.
I did notice that my new tensioner (1 year old) was pretty far extended...but I cannot figure out how one pulls it out without it fully extending....thus obfuscating the measurement.
The master-link chain I put in: Is it the EXACT length I needed, or has anyone cut out a link to allow for a tighter system? I put it in as-is, and she's running great...but could I have cut out a link to make it tighter>?
Thanks.
