zokustyle 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2015 Alright dudes. I'm stumped. I was settling on the fact that this engine probably has a bad main bearing. But Lofty visited yesterday and I gave him a ride and it's weird. The sound is only at 650RPM idle. Cold start is zero noise, sounds perfect, 90ish psi oil pressure. Once fully warm, revs out to limit A-OK, 35-40psi idle pressure, the noise only comes at the fully warm, resting idle of 650. Even just up off that for an idle and it's gone. As far as I know, worn bearings come with lower oil pressure, get louder with more revs, and generally make noise no matter the engine temp. In all of the oil changes I've done on it I've also seen zero metal. I've also seen that a loose flywheel can make similar noises to a bad main nearing? I'm probably going to pull this engine and have a look anyway, but I won't even be around the car for the next week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gordo 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2015 It may be crank thrust bearings, but also, rod bearings will knock at a different rpm than the mains will. And yes, when a flywheel starts coming lose, it will make more noise at idle. Bottom line, if it's not taken care of, no matter what it is, it will get worse, and cost more to fix.
