ok, excuse me for sounding f**kING PISSED OFF during this post!!

After many months of my motor rebuild they finally started it today..

AND IT SOUNDS LIKE A TRAIN!!

I havent heard it myself but the descripting i was givin was "It sounds like a train, like there is a block of metal inside a cyclinder"

Does anybody know what this noise could be?????

ps. No I wont be paying a single cent for the rebuild.

pps. The description of the noise was from the guys that put the motor in, not from the wankers that built it!

HELP please.... I want to know which mechanic to knock out!

Engine specs:

Arias 86.5Mil pistons

rev rods

33 gtr crank

acl race bearings

tomie poncams 9mil lift

umm.. i havent heard it myself but from the description, its more of a deeper noise.. but i will have to check...

i just called somebody else and was told to check oil pressure, head clearences, and timing (set to base- 15deg)

car also has stock injectors, splitfire coilpacks and new spark plugs

well the builders have already snapped my tomei inlet cam before, (i had to buy a new one) so the guys with the motor are now checking that they havent snapped it again.

no matter how big or small the problem is, it will be going to another engine builder... probly gavin woods. or somebody with a very good rep.

what sux the most is i have now missed out on buying a home cuz i cant sell my car for the loan..

so it runs????

You need a more specific explanation for anyone to take a real educated guess at what it could be!!! As Troy said its a simple piston engine same design as a holden six in principle it wont be anything someone with an idea shouldnt be able to diagnose in a few seconds!!!

we can all sit here and guess all day and no-one will know the correct answer without taking a guess and you spending the $$$ to find out anyhow.

best bet, take the car back and get it looked at by a professional as no-one here can tell you without seeing the car

yep, the motor runs..

its currently being diagnosed as we type.

i just started this thread cuz ide like to be a few steps infront of the guys that built it... i just dont trust them anymore and want to be able to catch them out if they try blaming the guys that installed it or if he makes up some other bullcrap excuse..

thanks,

ok,, thought i would try anyway.

thanks

the noise is slowely going away... and everything is fine...

im not sure what it is as im not a mechanic.. but its getting quieter now, and there doesnt seem to be anything wrong with it...

wonder what the noise was? any ideas?

its just a little lumpier because of the cams.

i have been told to pick it up tomorrow, he just wants to make sure everything is tight again, and tripple check everything before it goes....

I have to wonder why you picked people to work on your car who seemingly have NFI what they are doing.

I find these finger pointing type threads quite amusing, especially the ones where said accuser ends up looking like an asshat.

    • Some troubleshooting, connect up a timing light/gun with a proper ignition lead on coil 1. Hold the revs at 4~4500rpm and see if your timing is all over the shop, scattering off its tits. If so, there's a high chance your CAS is fked. But I read you have a Link ECU ready to go in, why not just skip all this and put that in - will make troubleshooting so much easier.  
    • Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.
    • Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.
    • House of Fatz dry dock needs a clean sadly one of the long time stables is leaving this weekend   see ya mr purple
    • Hence why I've only modified my car into a pure daily. Everything has to remain reliable & roadworthy, while providing value and grin factor. It also must not be handcrafted to the extent that the car will be immovable if something breaks because you cannot get or make a replacement to at least limp around with.
