- 95 Model Commodore
Greetings, I have a 95 model VR Commodore V6 and recently the motor has started getting very noisey. There is a clangy, clapp or it sounds like the lifters are shot and making the rockers rattle terribly but it sounds more than that like the balance shaft bearings are shot making it make a loud rattle. The noise isn't heard much over 1500 rpm but the lower the engine revs, the more rattle it makes.
Any ideas? It does sound more like the noise is coming from the top but it's still hard to tell with the noise so loud. I don't know where I should start. The motor still drives fine with no oil pressure loss.
Here is a audio file of the noise. The last 7 seconds of it was with the bonnet up.
