Well I decided to polish cam covers, have been puttin it off for ages, so anyways I done one of them and decided tat i'll do the oter one in a few dayz. So I carefuly wiped gunk off the motor, so the gasket would seal nicely, i put it all back together, taking my time to do it properly and neatly .. i double checked tat everything was connected, ten i tripple checked ... and just b4 i started the car i had anoter quick check over every hose bolt etc ..

Te car started perfectly, drove perfectly, everything was good.

Anyways i went for a cruse b4 to supermarket and when pulled up I noticed that the car sounded differently, so i popped the hood, and it seems to be making a noise, almost like a knocking sound as well as a noisy kinda sound and it seems 2 be commin almost from the back section of the cover ...

Now honestly and truthfuly, this could be normal and could have always been there and ive just never noticed, usualy when im under the hood the car isnt running, so i carnt say for sure that i remember it being there or not being there. It could be all the drugs im on .. feelin a bit buggy ..and the drus will do that 2 u, make u think more till paranoia gets you ..

Either way im 2 scared to start the car now ... but it ran perfectly still, which probably means its just me ...

Can anyone help .....

does it do anything to the car if its sits tere overnight without a cam cover on ??

It was covered so nothing got in or anything, but maybe something like a sensor picks up on it so the ecu has to be reset in order for it to function properly ...

Any thoughts on this people ??

Has anyone else polished there covers and had this happen to them ????

Hey Mick,

sorry it took a while to reply.

First off, you did a bloody great job of polishing them, it looks fantastic!

About the knocking sound. I did not notice any difference in sound after I put them back on. I always get a little bit of noise when it first starts up on a cold morning, but after about 5 seconds it stops.

Unfortunately I dont live in ballarat or near there. I live in Mildura. But I do have a brother who goes to Ballarat Grammar and I sometimes go there 2 visit, but probly not for a while now :D

Sorry mate, hope ya get it sorted. Maybe try and take it off again and put it back on and double check nothing dropped in, and that the seals are in place too (thats what id do)

Andrew

Yeah im not2 sure what it sounded like (carnt remember) bec i havent started tha car since ....

But i think it got oil change when i got it serviced and dyno'd.

I just about to go inta the shed & open her up again ...

The noise is probably normal, its just ive neva noticed it b4, there just seems to be alot of noise comin from the rear of that cover..

Im gettin camber done 2day thankgod ... Now I can slap the Nismo 18" LMGT1's on ..

    • Nah its a server spammer thing  Although, now that I manually approve all the accounts I can probably loosen up some of the restrictions.  
    • Thread bump, again! Although, no bad news this time. Posting for the sake of possible root cause. Basically, I rebuilt it (mostly stock), installed Haltech + sensors, had it running fine on new ECU.  Still not really understanding why it cracked pistons last time. Got to tuners, and while checking timing, noticed +-10deg of timing scatter while revving. Changed CAS, and it was rock solid. While not definitive, can't imagine seeing 20+ psi with that amount of scatter would be a good thing. Also glad I found something.   Bit more of a run down; Carried out a stock rebuild, a set of stock pistons, out of a spare bottom end. Everything stock apart from head studs and oil restrictors. (so I can pretend I didn't let the Nissan out, ha.) Armed with the measuring gear and FSM, set about doing overhaul. Oil restrictors as per oil control thread for a RB25, stock oil pump, drifting. Head drain/vent from rear of head, to passenger side of sump above oil level. Two dash 10 vent lines from drivers side of sump (unused atm) Hi octane style cam cover breather kit Splash covers over last 2 cam caps. Both breather lines from cam covers to vented to atmosphere catch can, not plumbed back into sump (wanted to see what it was actually breathing). Got it run in (did about a 1000km) no to low boost scenario, As I had questions over old ECU setup. Installed haltech +sensors for flex Retune on E85 (finding CAS Issue along the way), made 300rwkw at 20psi, out of wastegate. Did a drift day the next day (yes, it was a big weekend!) and was checking catch can throughout the day, ZERO blowby. I mean nothing. Lines from cam covers are not even wet. Done a bunch of street driving, spirited and catch can is still dry. Early days I guess, but pretty happy so far. Also now run 10w60, up from the 10w40 that I used to run. Oil pressure is significantly better, especially when hot (as you would expect)      
    • Thanks buddy. I thought it was a server storage thing. 🤣
    • Perfect! Thanks for this, both look like great options!
