Hi guys

i get this wierd noice from the front. the noice seems to start when im traveeling from 60 onwards and is at its loudest at 100.

When i first heard the noice it thought it might have been the diff so i changed the diff oil i put penrite diff oil and also some nulon gear treatment. the noice was still there. i got a wheel alignment and rotated the tyres the noice went away for a while but it came back. I had Hankook Ventus tyres and was told they are the reason im getting the noice and they are crap.

i now have a second hand pair of dunlop sports 255/55/R16 on it was ok for a few days but the noice is back again and it is just as loud. it is really annoying. It hard to explain the noice sound like but it getts so annoying i have to turn the radio up. to block the sound out.

oh and another thing is when you open the window you cant hear it either

any help would be good.

Your going to have to describe the noise a bit better.

There are some basic diagnostic things you can do.

Does the noise increase with speed or with revs?

If its revs it might be engine or possibly gearbox.

If its speed it could be tyres, wheel bearings, diff, etc.

Take it to your mechanic and take him for a drive, see if he can diagnose it.

...and by the way its "noiSe" not "noiCe".

Good luck fixing it.

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
