could it be a dirty lifter?

guy i was talking to at a work shop thinks it will be just that....

and a oild change and filter should fix it.... sounds to good to be true

but i did start it today cold and it had the rattle then... after a couple of seconds went away and wouldnt do it till i slowly held the throttle till it got up to around 3500 4000rpm? befor it had the rattle again.....

good point about the oil pump - thats what worries me about just swapping bearings. where is the bearing material that has come loose? in the oil pump? in an oil gallery? in the turbo oil feed? in the oil filter block/cooler? in another bearing?

If you've spun a bearing, disassemble and clean the whole motor

its all out now... so far its looking like its just starting to spin the big end on number 6 it went in today to get looked at rebuilt ect.....

im going to do the clutch while its out and machine the fly wheel... just to be safe, has a few hot spots and is a little worn...save pulling it out later on

also only has the stock dump pipes on the stock turbos are they worth changing? didnt look to bad for stock i thought....if so who make bolt on replace ment ones?

and what kind of head gaskit should i run?

how good are stock ones for?

it has had a bigger metal one in it...it has cp pistions rods ect all ready, do the cp pistions raise the comp at all? thanks in advance steve

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
