Car has been sitting there for 4 months start it up. Slight knocking noise

Dump the oil change the filter add some lifter stuff as that was first thought a stuck lifter.

Still same noise but louder

Here's the list of things we checked

Water pump- took belt of so it wasn't spinning

Spark- took spark plugs out and turned it by hand

Coil- unplugged the coils one by one. Still there

Turned it over by hand.

Cam covers off. Took off, spun by hand then started it without the cam covers, no issue

Injectors - took injectors off, unplugged one by one sound still there

Also removed cam covers and ran the car. Knock is definitely lower down then cams

My knock

Video that covinved me

So, anyone have any ideas ?

It doesn't sound like a spun bearing to me. More like lifter noise. Probably since the car has been sitting for so long the lifters are gummed up and there isn't the right amount of oil in the hydraulic lifters. You can take them out, take them appart and clean them then re assemble with some oil in them. there is a thread on here in the DIY section of how to do it.

I reckon he stated man that lifter stuff has been added, Death rattles for me have always sounded alot worse than that to me. While it doesnt sound very healthy and could possibilly be a spun bearing i would check these things

1. check compression, should be all even and around 150psi

2. It sort of sounded like a leaking exhaust manifold gasket from the video so maybe check that

3. If its got fresh oil and the lifters are the problem try driving around gently and see if the problem perists, if it gets better chances are it was just lifters :)

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
