Yeah did a oil change Saturday. Had done 7000 so will change at 5000 now religiously it disappeared at idle after the change and is only 2800-3200 on no6 under gentle acceleration in second? Rattle rattle - gone? No noise with 6 coil pack disconnected! Weird.

how loud is it? 
 
not sure if you can use an oil flush to get the gunk out... they arent too bad to clean apart from having to get them out. there are also a couple different varieties on our engines. look the same externally but different sizing internally

Haven't pulled the cam cover but goes away with no 6 H.t. Disconnected? So I would assume a cam lifter follower issue? Seeing as its on the exhaust side?

Can only pick up the rattle in 2nd gear under mild acceleration?

 

 

 

 

U should have a lisren to my engine, rattles at idle (suspect the turbo may well be dying lol) about 3k its got a ting ting noise and at the top it sounds like a big ol straight six on heat ? 

Wouldnt be lifter, weather u disconect the coil or not it the lifters gonna do its job. However, if u disconnect the coil and it goes away ur taking the combustion away from that cyclinder. So id be looking for a leaky manifold around nunber 6 or anything in general todo with number 6

Yeah i panicked at first thinking ouch turbo, bearings, piston slap, gudgeon pin, big end knock etc. but can fully pinpoint the sound to no6 rear exhaust cam cover at only that tiny rev range. Will sus it out better on the w/end? Might need a real mechanic! Would assume tig welding it won't help!

Will suss it out better Saturday. Thanks for the advice guys, I appreciate it. It will give me a better starting point for trouble shooting. Never owned or worked on a car with a turbo or the cam shaft/s in the right spot except the last 8 months. Show us your v8's. She's running absolutely trick except for that! My wife and jack recond the noise is in my head! What noise! (perhaps the loony bin would be a better fix?) done all the turbo/dump pipe studs gaskets etc. So will check the manifold.
when you drive something often enough you can hear noises before anyone else or before it becomes a problem

Spent 3 months of weekends when I got it fixing rattles blips blurts knocks and bumps! Only drive her on w/ends. The captain always goes down with his ship. Then emerges with less money and More power!

I remember having issues with the escort (when I was 18) flushed and cleaned everything new radiator, heater core, plugs points gaskets leads jets etc. I was putting a new head gasket on when dad came out and wiggled the no.4 piston with his hand. Think I found your problem mate! Sell it now.

    • 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.
