horrible engine noise
Mon, 17 October 2005 00:58
hey ppl, was driving the other day (not hard) when my car blew a huge puff of black smoke, started misfiring hard and got a horrid metal on metal sort of banging noise, like a valve hitting piston. i stopped instantly and had it towed home. the noise is top end and only intermittent, but the missing is continuous. any help please..
engine is 7m-gte.. recently (night before) had to adjust timing belt coz it slipped a tooth. after this car ran great for a day then next night this happened
was told it could be that the belt slipped again and its valve on piston, but i thought 7m's are non-interfearence motors??
is this true?? can it be a valve?? what else could it be??
cheers people, quick response would be appreciated as i need to fix it asap..
cheers
Stomps
