Featured Replies

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.

i have the same damn noise maybe a little worse, hopfully you get an answer cause i would like to know also

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.

I got the same noise. It usually goes away after a few minutes.

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.

No change after oil change. I also added MMO the last 100 miles before oil change, also no change. I guess I will just live with till it get up to tempature .

My RS started doing that a few months after a HG replacement.
