take it to a mech. asap! i wish i had gone to see one earlier. i started hearing a similar noise, took it to my mech, turns out harmonic balancer had come loose... left it too long and had damaged my crank :D

hopefully this isnt your problem.

This is screwed... i have just changed the spark plugs... but i took it for a few drives and it never made any noise..

Then a couple days before i moved overseas i started the engine and it was fine no noises at all..... so i dno how a noise like that could suddenly come up?

worst of all is i now like in U.A.E and im trying to get rid of the car soon as possible.....

Could be valve guides in the head. :worship:

i dont see how the valve guides could make that noise?... i dont think its the valves themselves because i bent valves and it make a different sound to that..... so i dont think its bent valves.

if valve guide were stuffed... then oil would be getting into the cylinders and there would be smoke coming out the exhaust?

I hope it could just be the water pump?

otherwise what sort of bearings are in the head?

Idler pulley bro.

It sounds SO much worse than it is though huh? I crapped myself when mine started doing it. But with mine it went away after the car warmed up.

Check out my vid:

Same noise more or less. I changed my belts/idler/tensioner, goneburger :P

if your not sure take it to a mechanic that is..... to me it sounds like it may be a few different things so best to take it to someone that can u tell u for sure and pinpoint the problem before it gets worse....

could me your lifters if u say it started doing it after sitting there for alittle while.

the timing belt is due anyway so doesnt bother me or the owner to change it, he's giving me $100 to do it anyway :D

its not the lifters i know what they sound like

      Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
