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.

-trel

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

thanks for that man very helpful! i will get a gates kit and replace everything, its due for it anyway

let you guys know the results

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

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
