See that massive rattling and banging on the first start up mate that in my experience is the big end bearings but without standing in front I can't garuntee it however the more you start it the more damage you will do

No moff, and that's what I'm worried about speed,

I'm worries about paying out for stuff I don't need and I will admit I've no idea about the engine, as never had any problems with it before or any other engine

Get a mechanic friend over and ask them there opinion but I reckon it's big ends

Did u hear the big knock on the first start mate?

yup and that to me is the death rattle,no more driving till its diagnosed fo rsure!

 

[eddie558]

No one I know can get over so I think it's time to admit defeat, and get to shipping engine down, thanks for all your help and advice, this will be one noise I will never forget and never want again lol

did you check your oil filter and sieve the oil?

 

[luke1979]

ooof you weren't kiddding - that sounds pretty hefty but i have heard noisy lifters sound like that in the past - my own in fact on my last engine. I changed the oil and it was fine.

another thing to check is your timing too just to be safe

i remember having to take my own cylinder head off and infact finding i had two bent inlet valves... however i'm not saying this is the issue here.

i think something can be done with the lifters but i cant remember i'm afraid - someone like speedreeper would be able to diagnose this i'll pm him and send him the link to this thread..

this ... try a fully synth 15w50 its quick and cheap and a last ditch before stripping it

My car had 15w50 in it when I bought it, and the lifters tapped like hell until warm. Went to 10w40, and has been perfect ever since.

 

[luke1979]

Well a knock like that if its lifters 15w60 maybe .... you could inspect and clean all the lifters still beter than a rebuild cost wise.

This approach did fix my knocky lifter ... not for long though.

That ain't no lifter knocking on the start up

 

[luke1979]

I think your probably right is it worth checking though ?

That ain't no lifter knocking on the start up

I would have to agree lol

 

[eddie558]

The bid knocking is now only on first start up for about a second as you here on the video, once I turn the car off and re start the big knock is not there but the tapping still is and when you rev the engine the tapping gos with the revs,

It's a spun bearing I think I

I thought with a spun bearing I would lose oil pressure? But it's fine on the gage

Daz's didn't - the noise just got steadily worse mate

 

[eddie558]

News on the engine from Mr rb is that it's fooooked, the pistons sound like it's banging on the head and the bearings have gone on holiday lol, so time to save :-( :-(

bad news mate but hell there's some good engines going for good prices - prob be as well to just drop another in as opposed to rebuild
