RB25 NEO KNOCKING/TICKING NOISE

Hello i recently purchased this vehicle with a rb25det neo (4wd motor with gtr pull type clutch)that has a knocking/ticking sound. I got it at a good price and drove it home 6hours.

 

The old owner who was an elderly person said the car sat for 3 years and was only started once in a blue moon, during that time it was said the sound occurred. 

 

The best way i can describe it is when you start the car for the first time in the day there is a louder knocking sound which then quitens slightly after 2 seconds and continues making that knock noise no matter the engine temperature. It also doesnt seem to change under load and only gets faster with revs. It sound like it is comeing from the rear of motor.

Also when turning the engine over by hand it gets to a point where it is hard to turn over. I h

ave added new hpr 10 oil and mbl8 to no change. 

I have it booked in somewhere but it is hard to find a place what wants to try diagnose it without stripping down the engine. I just cant do that right now.

 

Any answers and advice appreciated.

 

Thanks 

Cameron

Don't buy f**ked car if you can't identify the fault and fix it yourself. At the very least you need to have an idea of the cost of fixing it.

You wasted money on the oil change, so that was a bad start.

 

What did tthink was wrong with iI when you bought it?

I strongly doubt the oil is clean. if you drop it there will be sparkles of copper all through the bottom of the drain tray.

I've very confident the bottom end needs a rebuild to replace the spun big end bearing, measure for any other damage (eg rod), cleaned thoroughly and reassembled

Lifters will be more of a tap tap noise, doesn't have as much of a "chunky" tap if you get me. That's bottom end knock on your engine 100%. As Duncan is saying, pull the oil pan off it will look like there's glitter sprinkled in there, check the drain plug too. Ask me how I know...(not on an RB though).

Yep, because it needs a rebuild.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
