Umm, my engine is rattling? WTF?!?! - Acura Forum

quic vic · 05-22-08, 07:35 PM

So my engine started rattling last week, I thought/ hoped that it was just that the valves needed adjusting. got the tools, went out there today and adjusted the valves, turned her over and it still rattles!! any ideas? I suspect it's going to have to be taken apart, which I'm not going to do myself, I'll let someone else do it.

Could be the lifters, its really hard to tell without hearing the car.

Find a youtube video that is similar to your ticking and maybe we can try to pin point what's going on.

is it a tick or a rattle? are u sure its comin from the motor? if so where is it coming from ehuas side or intake side? need more info

definitely coming from the engine, sounds like it is coming from the valve train, when it started rattling it never lost power, just developed the rattle.

Whens the last time you adjusted the valves?

I did a valve lash adjustment the day I posted the topic, cause that what I thought it was and when that didn't solve it I was stumped.

quic vic · 05-28-08, 10:26 PM

its way too loud to be the injectors, my engine sounds like a diesel.

good catch, got a call from my mechanic today after having the car towed this morning, one of the nuts on the #2 exhaust lifter had worked its way loose. better safe than sorry though, it was making an awful racket.

This is gonna sound weird, but check the engine mounts. o_O

that was the first thing I checked, when I first got the new engine in they would back out for whatever reason, but I think I've finally got that problem handled.
