Rpm90001 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 (edited) Well I made 2 short videos the first one is a cold start up (it's in the 70's this morning) and the second is after a 5 minute drive. if I would of driven a little farther in the second video it would be quiet. But you will see after a short drive it is a lot quieter. Piston slap? is what it piston slap sounds like? All timing components have been changed so i know its not the tensioner piston slap?? Thoughts? this is after a short 5 minute ride. It would quiet even more if i drove a little longer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8DqeCiyQFA&sns=em I just replaced the last video, I posted the first video twice...

coolskaterkid Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 interesting, mine will really make a racket on most starts and makes more noise as it revs, but it can be herd at idle once hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rpm90001 Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 (edited) After pulling the motor and all the work that went in to it, it's a little embarrassing to start it up and hear ticking. If it slap, I'm just going to ignore it. I just want to male sure I'm not over looking something that can be fixed. The first day of posting the Video, I posted 2 of the same video. Posted the first video twice. I have posted the correct 2nd video that was taken after a short drive.
