Mark_H 0 Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Does the noise change when you rev the engine ?? Is the noise the gearbox side ?? If so, it could be the timing chains. Link to post Share on other sites

VR6Nat 9 Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 http://www.vr6oc.com/download.php?view.30There's the link to the timing chain noise, from what you're describing it sounds exactly like that. the noise will come from the right side of the engine block and only gets noticable if you get someone to sit your car at 1500 revs....

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 no the noise is coming from the belt side' date='the only time its noisy Is when i rev over 2tho revs[/quote']So its coming from the left side of the engine - could be the pulling bearing, cracked pully or altenator problem. does it sound like its coming from the belt, or the engine it's self?I also had a 'ticking' valve thing that was situated around that area too that was amplified on the chassis leg, something to do with fuel?
