I guess its tough to make out in the vid. Standing in front of it, sounds like a knock.

Matts94Z28 · 10-18-2013, 08:39 PM

Converter bolts loses?

Come on Corey give the trans man some credit!

First thing I checked...

MonteC · 10-18-2013, 10:33 PM

Its definitely in the motor. I exhausted all sources of external noises.

BAD BOB · 10-18-2013, 10:58 PM

And you pulled each coil wire to see which one changed?

No I was checking things like headers hitting the frame or anything loose. It has to be something inside. I'll be pulling wires tomorrow.

Rob,

I had something quite similar on the first engine I ever fully built (granted it was a pre-86 SBC) But had Great oil pressure even hot @ idle and still had a ticking/slap sound that changed w/RPM. This was after like 2 years but no more than 2k on the engine. Anywho, I had a lifter come apart in cyl No 1 intake come apart completely...Only thing thats sucks if it is in your case, you'd obviously have to pull the heads. Theres no chance its just the valvetrain geometry thats off alittle, like one pushrod's a different length or anything? I ask cause its hard to really hear Just the engine in the vid

chrisheltra · 10-19-2013, 02:27 AM

Sounds like every other race car on earth.

Carlrx7 · 10-19-2013, 02:06 PM

I think Rob found the problem

lol

Mike · 10-19-2013, 02:43 PM

Damn!

I hate this for you rob, i know how long you have been working on that car on all of your spare time. I know you are probably over it at this point but keep your head up and finish the thing.
