My name is Russell Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Took a quick vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDPByK3GjmM Sounded like a dry bearing at first so have removed the alternator belt, power steering belt, and A/C belt but the sounds still there. So last three things it could be i guess are cam belt water pump, tensioner, or mains bearings? Does this sound like any of these things to anyone? Has oil, and engine is 150,000kms and cam belt was done at 75,000kms. Just pooped on computer to gloogle how to get the cam belt of past the bottom pully.

fuel Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 you'll need to remove the crank pulley (22mm socket, or 1/2" drive) to gain access to the lower cambelt area. that noise sounds nasty anyhow! It could be the water pump, as its driven off the cambelt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My name is Russell Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 you'll need to remove the crank pulley (22mm socket, or 1/2" drive) to gain access to the lower cambelt area. really hope its water pump its just gotten supper noisy out of nowhere . . . cheers fuel, any tips on how to crack the nut on the crank pully i.e stop it spinning? Think I'm probably loosing man points asking this question! Thanks Fuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 good compressor and good rattle gun. It should be done up fucking tight, like 190Nm, but some mechanics are mongrels and will do it up tighter and use loctite as if it's not done up tight enough, it starts to wear out the crank key way (like I did to my 6A12).

Valiant Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Put your socket and power bar on the crank nut and wedge it against the lower arm etc. unplug the distributor and hit the key. Its the best back yard method of loostening the crank pulley with no rattle gun. That is a nasty noise, it should be obvious what it is when you get it appart.

fuel Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 those piddly 4G91 starter motors wont crack off the bolt, unless someone hasn't done it up tight enough previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuel Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 yeah you're right there, but I haven't had much luck with all the ones I've come across Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclejake Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Are you sure something isn't hitting sheetmetal Chris? Get a length of garden hose or a long steel bar and see if you can isolate the noise to a particular area of the motor before you pull more stuff off.

Unclejake Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 My shitadora pneumatic rattle gun puts out more grunt that my mate's Snap-on one, but it is only 1/2 inch drive. You want? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 take the bellhousing inspection plate off and jam up the flywheel ring gear with a pry bar or large screw driver, then get a power bar with long extension on the crank bolt. But before doing that I would get under the car while the engine is running with a torch and see if that gives you a better insight where the noise is coming from.

Simon Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Bolt could have fallen out of a cover and is dancing around the back side of a belt against the cover? Doesn't sound like a major. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
