aLmk's Turbo FA5

the reason i say rod bearing or rod is cuz the night my car f**ed up thats the same noise it made when i pulled over to check that noise,,,,

lost motion assembly spring its under the rockers in the middle

Gotcha, how can I check those? I know I obviously need to remove the valve cover, do the cams have to come out as well? What do I need to look for there?

Gotcha, well this has been happening a LONG time, like I said about a year and 3 months.... I'd be pretty surprised if it was from a rod bearing and actually lasted this long... What's the easiest way to check that? Drop oil pan?

[monjarassi]

the lmas yes pull the vc and rotate the cams as if you were doing a valve lash and use a dentist mirror and dig in there and look of the top is missing. Do the same steps for IN and EX


n for the rod bearing the oil pan has too come off

Ok thanks!

Little update on my goofy noise, it's not an accessory as I removed the belt yesterday, started the car, but be noise was still there. At this point I'm leaning towards a bent or sticky/leaky valve. A very basic test suggested that it could be that and after talking to some people it really doesn't seem to be coming from the bottom end. But I'm gonna get a leak down test done here ASAP. Aside from all this I'm still 80% sure I'll go racing Friday anyway and hope for the best lol since it's been going on so long anyways. After that I'll probably put the car down for a bit and work on getting it actually fixed.

Well I didn't just discover this noise, it's been going on over a year.

I raced on it two weeks ago with the same noise I have a spare bare block if the worst happens.
