Bryant changes his mind faster than any woman...and some Cam Help...



Re: help after cam install :(

Timing chain dampner or something with the timing chain, is my guess...

Gonna have to pull motor or drop it just enough to get at it from the wheel well. If you get mad or want to walk away, just remember batwood and how dedicated he is.
 
Re: help after cam install :(

see and this is the wierd thing up top witht he stethascope the sound is even thru the flex plate and thru the timing cover.
But underneath the car it seems loudest and seems tlike it is coming from the flex plate... Can a sound from a flex plate travel over to the timing cover like that?
 


Re: help after cam install :(

All you have to do is jack it up and take the wheel off...as many times as I had my motor out I just left all that plastic shielding and BS off the car...you don't have to drop the subframe or anything to remove the front cover...just take off the belts and the accessories and pulleys/etc...drain fluids...etc.
 


Re: help after cam install :(

Jack up the car. Loosen the engine crade on the driver side and drop the passenger side if you need more working space. That's how I did my cam. Be careful when you do it, its nothing worth losing a limb over.
 
Re: help after cam install :(

ok guys well i diagnosed it even further and the noise is thruout the whole engine.... Its loud at the timing cover, the rear head, and the flex plate region.... Im starting to guess its rod knock or something along those lines. im uploading some better vids right now
 


Re: help after cam install :(

ok just a little while ago i pulled all belts off jsut to make sure it wasnt w/p or anything like that. And with all belts off it still does it and i toke each spark plug wire off one at a time and that did not do anything either. But while the belts were off i stuck my long screw driver right behind the dampner pulley (or w.e. its called, the lowest pulley on the block thats on the front of timing cover) and it was super loud there. And the nosie even shoke my screwdirver in my hand... so..........im guessing its behind that

Could be, go try it. It wont hurt anything, unless you drop your car on your self then minor damage may result.
