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.

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
