as some of you know i have been trying to clean-up my intake system and ran into a few snags. (sheared bolt nightmares, broke a $85 VSV and more...) i have now put everything back together and there is a mean gurgling sound coming from what i think may be my valves on the passenger side.

could the timing on that head be out a smidge causing that sound?
i havent taken it for a drive yet, but when i rev the motor the sound goes away at higher rpm's.

thanks

 

anyone?

 

valve gurgle? never heard that term before...got a sound clip?

 

ill go take a clip tonight. i tried fiddling around with the vacuum hoses and it seems to have made a difference. so i guess that would make the noise a vacuum gurgle.

 

what u talkin about Willis?

 

i dtermined that its def not timing and that my gaskets are all good. so i began trying different arrangements of the vac hoses that spagetti the pass. side of the plenum. i managed to clear up the gurgling sound but its still not running quite right.
anyone have a diagram of the vac hose arangement?

 

I'm betting the PAIR system is leaking

 

so you just went and randomly attached hoses in different places?

 

a Simple search yielded so:

yes. i tried some different arrangements to test whether that was the problem and wouldnt you know it, it seems it was. i had thought that id returned all the vac hoses to their orig. locations after i put the top end back together.

in heinsight i should have labeled them as i removed them.... another lesson learned the hard way.

 

hm. Thats funny lol. Better look at the vacuum diagram. I would have posted the picture myself, but for some reason I can't access my Photobucket page

 

my apologies. turns out i forgot to connect the main vacuum line to the pair reed valve and thats what was causing the noise. i'll tell you one thing, its a lot easier to connect when the plenum isn't bolted down.

cheers for all the trouble shooting help boys!

 

Who called it?!

Glad you found it.
