Hi guys,
short version- weird noise sounded like pump hitting block. replaced water pump, not that, harmonic balancer looks weird, could this cause a noise?
Long Version:
Was on the way to work the other morning, turned the key, started and there was a snap and all of a sudden theres a rattling/knocking noise all through the rev range. First thought was the belt, but that was intact. Sounded like a water pump hitting was hitting the block so I ripped that off and replaced it.
Turns out, wasnt the water pump and I jumped the gun. Should have checked for the noise with no belt on.
So I have a new water pump but still a noise.
I noticed when I had the pump off my balancer looked a bit far out do my question is
1. Is it normal for it to look like this.?
2. Could this cause my noise?
Will try and get a video of the noise later tonight
