Timing Belt Replaced

[fishyboneyo]

I had recently changed my timing belt and water pump ect. And when I started my car it started fine and revved out fine and idled awesome. Although when I let my clutch out all the way in neutral it starts making a really wierd ticking noise I have no idea what it is any thoughts or ideas?

Sooooooo you put the clutch in and now that you have released it there is a ticking noise?

Is the noise coming from the timing belt area or the rear of the engine?

Does the noise change with RPM?

Is the idle now odd?

Need much more information to diagnose things over the internet

Also did u have it on ramps? cos mine made a terrible sound on ramps so shut it down straight away. But later on when it was off the ramps it was fine.

It actually sounds like it is coming from the front of the motor near the timing belt, the idle is the same it just ticks and the pitch defiantly changed of the tick when revving but revs normal. I don't have it on ramps but thanks for checking.

Is your CAS on the way out? Mine made weird noises when i put the timing cover back on and could not work out what it was. Thought the belt was rubbing because with the timing cover off it sounded ok

Turned out my CAS bearing(s) were shot. When you pull the CAS out turn it you will soon know if you have the same problem as me. Should spin nice and freely. Mine was hard to turn by hand

Hmm I will definitely check the next time I'm home, would the cas make this noise only when the clutch is fully out?

What method did you use to hold the crank when you undid the balancer bolt?
