i dont know, But gees if they sell a tent designed to have a open door you would think they would have a switch to turn that stuff off.

Thanks for the advice and replys, Well it sounds the same first start or hot, actually my get a little quieter as it runs and warms up. i also i noticed and the guy that is using it noticed that it appears to be a little quieter , i would not say it is cured i`m just hope full. if it blows up i guess i can change the engine easy enough.. a ej.2.2 with 115k miles with rod knock must have had a abusive past life. when i got the car the oil was black and 2 quarts low, with a blown HG , bad Cam censor thanks

double post please delete ! thanks

ok, will do, thanks

I HAVE NOT INTENTIONALLY BEEN CREATING DOUBLE POST THIS SITE IS DOING IT OR STICKY KEYBOARD OR SOMETHING BUT IT IS NOT ME ON PURPOSE. TO WHO EVER COMPLAINED IM SORRY IT BOTHERS YOU. TO THE MODS SOMETHING ELSE IS UP BESIDES ME DOUBLE POSTING, I DONT THINK I DESERVE TO BE BANNED, THANK YOU !

Thanks for taking the time to explain that to me. i will read it several times, i also will look for video of the job. i have the hyanes book does it say anything about the procedure ? thanks

bump

no one want to see a vid ? hmmm , lol just a bump !

I started a thread about valve noise but maybe it is piston slap, Thought ?

I started a thread about valve noise but maybe it is piston slap, Thought ?

yes took it apart and threadloc and tightened back up

ok here is the vid , noisy engine

I will pull a valve cover and get some pics, how do i post a video? says its to big its only 10 seeconds or so, i am working on posting a vid, Thanks

i replaced the tensioner along with timing belt and pulleys, head gaskets, the engine was noisy before i did this work, also the power steering pump bearing was shot and that made noise, i replaced that , but still noisy, i am sure its not the tensioner slapping around. I pulled one valve cover but i dont remember if it had a set screw on the end, i am not sure how to tell the difference between lifters, i am learning as i go, i will try and fix what ever it turns out to be, the heads were flat and no smoke at start up so i didnt have the heads rebuilt when i did the HG. maybe i should of.

i put new seal in the oil pump when i did the timing belt, thanks

Are the valves Hydraulic or can they be adjusted ? is it even valves? car has 116k miles recent head gaskets and timing belt change, i bought the car for $350 and did the work , the car runs and drives great its just noisy ,maybe the lifters or fuel injectors ? i have video im going to try and post thanks.

the top end is noisy, 116k miles on a 1996 legacy i know this is low miles for the ej2.2 this is my fourth one. i bought the car for $350 with bad head gaskets, i fixed them and other small things. overall the car is great. after HG, fixing the A/C. and other stuff. the engine is noisy IM sure its not rod knock but more top end, im going to stat another thread with video to try and fix it. I changed the oil 3 times this time i have 16oz of mystery oil along with 10-40 after 1000 miles i wanted to change oil again. thats why i asked about high mile oil. do i do a valve job? are the lifters hydraulic on a 96 ? thanks

Thanks, I am going to try some.

Thanks, Men i will check this stuff out and get back to you!

Where is the switch from the brake pedal ?

What is different about it ? And why is it good, ? thanks

the car is a Automatic. yes the light illuminates on the switch, what does the cruze unit look like and where is it ? i will check the vacuum when i find the cruze box. thanks

116k miles just replaced head gaskets, i bought the car for $350 it looks great. i noticed the cruze does not work, i assume it was like that before i bought her. What are common problems and fixes i could start looking onto ? Thanks

before you go crazy ripping the heads apart, take out the cam and crank sensors and test them for continuity , and even then they read good they still could be bad because when the wire gets hot inside the sensor it ex-spans then does not work. better yet check the car with a computer obd2 for codes, if one are bad they will not throw the dash light on.

not sure what will happen, but i used ATF for my old ford tranny.
