OK. So im pretty sure ive got a stuck valve. I first heard it when I was coming home from work this afternoon. It sounded like something rattling or something hitting against the radiator fan. Well I got her home and started listening around. I took a short piece of 1\4ID pvc tubing I had and held it against my ear and the other end against the motor and other various parts under the hood and tried to track down where the sound was coming from. It seemed to be loudest right around the timing belt cover so I took the top part of the TB cover off and it seems to be coming from behind the cam gears. So I'm assuming that I have a stuck valve. The only thing that confuses me is that the car runs fine and at higher RPM's the noise goes away. Does this sound right? I noticed on the drive home that I only hear the noise at certain RPM's but I never truely got on it and barely got above 0 PSI. I of course havnt driven the car since. I'm gonna run some valve cleaner through it tonite to see if that makes any difference. Anybody have any suggestions\advice? Thanks!

Ive got kind of the same thing. makes noise from 2 grand to 2,800. I also had the head rebuilt recently.( doesnt sound like a tick anyways)
But, I contribute it too an exhaust leak as that is what mine sounds like and the fact that it disapears sometimes. (when it was colder I could see smoke coming from under the engine) maybe you have the same thing. |
