[VN_Luke]

it's not the balancer or something? they seem to make a rattling/tapping noise when the rubber cracks/disappears.

[Matt_vp]

injectors might be getting old and noisey.

Wow, AWESOME thread title mate ^_^

Could be valvetrain rattle, or a noisey injector.

Timing chain tensioner can make the hollow alloy sound under light acceleration

[lukieboy]

i had given the balancer a thought but not the injectors .......thanx guys

[Emackulation]

Get a long flat blade screw driver and rest it on each injector and stick your ear on the handle end to amplify the sound, if the sound matches then you may have fuond your issue.

they make a bad noise noise, i broke one on my v6 and spun a few big ends/ main bearings... i cant listen because im at work but get a big screw driver and use it to listen to the motor (you the blunt end on your ear) you can hear inside the motor

[fuzzy2308]

do u mean like the bunt end= handle?

[Morton]

Anything long and metal will do I've used breaker bars, a crowbar, a big spanner, an old aerial...

But a big metal screwdriver is best, and press the handle into your ear

[fuzzy2308]

and press the handle into your ear

i had a mental image of some one pushing my head in to the screw driver and walking around with it lodged in my brain like frankonstain.

[Morton]

lmao, that's a fantastic mental image mate If you want to be a wanker, you can go out and buy an actual stethoscope... I guess that would be kind of cool. I want one now...

[lukieboy]

well guys i put the screw driver to all the injectors and they are ****ed lol replacing them tomorrow

[lukieboy]

thank you all it was a big help and has saved me a lot of money

[Morton]

Just curious, were they ****ed because they were ticking? Because they're all meant to tick a little bit

[greenfoam]

They're actually ment to tick really loud :! expecially with a fine tuned screwdrivescope on them

[ScoHar]

yea they tick loud when listening to them through the screwdriverscope or gardenhosescope, when trying to find engine ticking, always ALWAYS check your exhaust connections 1st, 80% of engine ticking is actually exhaust (well maybe not 80% that was a made up stat)
