check it out...I got out the stethoscope.

I am fairly certain that the loud clacking/ticking noise is not the lifters but in fact coming from near the torque converter. Was it inside there that could potentially let go? I used the stethoscope on every portion of the engine, the short block, the heads, rocker covers, it is the loudest right at the TC!

WTF!!

It sounds like as the TC spins, something it whacking the inside of the case!:-\ Is this even possible!?

I may have to split the trans from the engine to get a good look inside.

 

any ideas here guys? anyone seen anything like this before?

I kno on american cars a cracked flexplate can do that. Not sure how u could have done that in a Loyale with little hp though but anything is possible.
