Clack, clack noise when engine is hot.
Posted 01-16-2010 at 06:57 AM by 87Roxanne
hi fellas, im new to this forum, but read TONS of good info here before!
2 months ago, i had a chain failure due to my lower bolt from the driver bracket came undone at 3000 rpm (nowhere else to go) jammed in the lower sprocket taking the chain, part of the cover but miraculously did NOT crunch my S Steel valves! Anyhow i got a valve job, new T cover, kit from engnbldr, clean pan, screen, put it all back, runs great!!!!! but i'm also getting the loud clack clack for a few seconds. BUT the weird thing is that it does not happen on the cold morning ( the engine revs at 1500 rpm so fast that if the noise is there i goes out fast), but it occurs when the engine is hot. I kill the engine and start it back up within seconds and......clack clack clack for a few more....
out of ideas....
Valve clearance is done twice to double check 0.008 int, 0.012 ext.
OH also new Aisin oil pump....
tried different filters.....
i run 10w30....
should i take it to a mechanis to check my oil pressure?
tensioner might be defective?? O.s.k ???
thank you for any help!
