You can right click > save target as, if not open it with IE. Firefox opens wmv files wierd for me.

 

Exhaust leak at the manifold?

 

Don't know but I've got one just like that, only more pronounced.

 

i hear it now, i have no idea what that would be

 

yea I'm stumped.....

I'm trying to find out what that ticking noise is that can be heard throughout the entire video....

 

when you rev your motor does it get louder or go away?

If It gets louder with reving it might be a rod knock...at least thats what it sounds like to me. How many miles on it?

I'm pretty sure thats not an exhaust leak, its not a low enough sound...to "clicky"

If the sound stays the same even when your revving, I'm not sure. It could be a number of things. most likely something loose. If you could give any more info I might be able to help you a little more.

 

My camera batteries died on me, so I didn't have a chance to get any more video. I will get back to you tomorrow.

 

Sounds like a diesel...did you check the oil??

Time for a 3.4??

 

What about the engine valves?

My check engine light has come on a couple times recently, but then gone off.

Maybe the engine is misfiring because of something wrong with the valves?

That explains the noise, and check engine light?


Brian, something is wrong with my wiring so it currently wont crank up. I had to get jumped the other day to get that short clip. Any thoughts on the valves?

 

My CEL comes on and off sometimes with the engine doing that exact same thing.... but I have no idea what exactly is wrong with it.. Subscribed.

 

It sounds too fast to be a valve issue ([url=https://www.yotatech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=92921]I have one[/url), and it's too clicky (like Brian said) to be an exhaust leak.

Take a look at getting answers for the questions Brian had for you, that'll help us.

 

Cool. i'm going out of town Friday-Sunday for my Grandparents 50th Anniversary.

I'll have the video up tomorrow for you guys so we can see what the deal is.

Brian, check back Thursday night.

Thanks.

 

Alright I got out and jump started it. Here is the new video:

Try right clicking on it and then "Save target as..."

In the video I stopped at 4000rpms.

Let me know what you guys think.

 

sure sounds like a valve to me. also it could be an injector. they can sound just like a valve tap.

 

The general consensus at my work is a bad lifter.

Good Luck!
Carl

 

What is that?

 

Its kind of a "no-no" "dumb-dumb" kind of thing, one of those redneck engineers...But if it turns out to be a valve tick, TEMPORARY solution can be had...Change oil. Put in one wight higher than normal, and put 1 quart less...and then put in a quart of ATF with the oil. Now dont go flaming me, I in no way said it was a good idea, but it DOES work...It will get you by for a time. READ! it IS NOT a solution. Only a bandaid.

 

if he ran seafoam through there, could that help if it was the valves/lifters. i thought thats where pinging came from???
