Chris Davey Forums Junkie Location: sunny coast, qld Registered: October 2002	Re: I am a happy chappy :) Fri, 04 June 2004 03:12 *takes deep breath* ok, now we did think that it was a big end bearing to begin with as it was also making a bit of a squealing noise sometimes as well as the tapping which seemed like it was tapping twice a revolution. I had to drive it for a little bit and the squealing suddenly stopped. So at that point we thought that the big end bearing had carked it and therfore no more noise however we dropped some oil out and there is no traces of anything metal in there so that is why we ruled out the big end bearing. But I will check it the way you said anyway. Would a big end bearing that is stuffed show up on a compression or leak down test? Also, the noise really does appear to be coming from the top of the motor. As it taps a bit when the engine is running with the cam covers off and when we put the cam covers back on it seemed louder like it was echoing inside there. I am pretty sure it is something above the valves though as it has good compression. With the pipe stethiscope and you could feel it with your finger on the head also, it appeared to be coming from cylinder 1 or 2 on the exhaust side. When the engine was running with the cam covers off, we noticed that there seemed to be more oil flow around cylinders 5 & 6, is this normal? There was plenty of oil around all cylinders just seemed to be a bit more at 5&6. Also, the actual noise came about after being on a trailor so there was no engine running and no oil pressure. Would it be feasible that the lack of oil pressure in the head has made the "solid lifter" come loose and cause a tapping noise? *breaths out heavily* [Updated on: Fri, 04 June 2004 03:13] [Report message to a moderator]
