Another " I got a noise" thread
86 turbo RTE engine sounds like a load of marbles bouncing around the valve cover when I let off the throttle. this noise is not noticable from inside the truck and it seems to be running well. rebuilt engine with about 7000 mi on it. Should I be worried ? what causes this noise ? I never noticed the noise before, but had not played with the throttle under the hood till now.

It could have something to do with it being a turbo.... I know you are supposed to run high octane in the modern turbo engines.... I dont know if this is true for the early turbo motors. It causes the engine to spark knock. I think it is becouse of a bad air/fuel ratio.

Yeah after I think about you are right... It would only happen under boost. but he did say he was playing with the throttle under the hood. That would make the turbo pressurize right???? but it wouldn't make the engine "bog down" like it had a load on it.... I think that is when it would most likely spark knock.... And it proably has a sensor for that anyway. Right?
