trebor69 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Personally id do a quick compression test to make sure its not a sticking valve, and if it is a bearing your comp will be lower as the piston wont be coming to the top as it should.

dr_jekyll Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 if its vanished its worth checking the trans end too mate, might be something bouncing around in the bell housing, sound travel down a crank can be very misleading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 if its vanished its worth checking the trans end too mate, might be something bouncing around in the bell housing, sound travel down a crank can be very misleading After you have said that, I am wondering if it might be the clutch, it was new with the transplant, but it gets a bit of a work out back onto my drive at the moment, due to me having to wiggle into a tight space while missing a big step and the Toyota IQ I would of thought it would of just gone once it has cooled down though, actually that doesn't really work in my head now I have thought about it Cold start this morning nothing at all until it had warmed up and then only a slight knock until after I had striped the belt and done the other bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wile e coyote Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Might have been worth dropping the oil tonight and leave to drain over night But prob a bit late now lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 (edited) I don't have the space Darren, I have 3 cars on the drive and 1 on the road I can only jack the Supra in one area of the drive due to the gravel down the middle Got 2 cars for sale, planning to change 2 for one decent one The IQ is my Mum's but she is giving up driving and said I can sell it or Px it to upgrade my old banger daily, I think she is hoping I will run her around Edited July 4, 2013 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spikedjack Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 (edited) Comp test Drop the oil, filter it and chop the filter in half to look for swarf Remove aux belt and check for play in any pulley Check viscous fan clutch Crank pully Ensure all coil packs are tight Whip off the cam covers to make sure no visible damage Ensure nothing exhaust wise has cone loose, heated exhausts with loose brackets etc can cause vibration back through the whole system Can you feel it through the gear stick? Does it go away clutch in? (Unsure if auto or manual sorry) All fluids topped up? All things I'd check, Edit: sorry just read the whole thread n realise you've probably checked a lot of these things Best of luck Edited July 4, 2013 by spikedjack (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Today the cams are quieter too, yesterdays clip had less oil-pressure than todays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 (edited) Today the cams are quieter too, yesterdays clip had less oil-pressure than todays. So is 5-40 Fully Synthetic the right oil for BPU levels at this stage of an engines life Also someone said to use Diesel Oil for the 200 mile Clean through because it has cleaning agents in it, is that correct If the Oil Pressure was down, would that point you towards the Oil Pump, as it has now got better again or a possible blockage somewhere Edited July 5, 2013 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted July 6, 2013 Author Share Posted July 6, 2013 (edited) Okay continued from the other thread that isn't visable for the moment please don't go into details that might get this locked, I am just after feedback relating to fixing/sorting my issues For those that did not see the Video's, the engine sounded like this, but only until I cold started it the following day When Knocking http://youtu.be/MByzEqajx1Y Following day after me removing the belt and checking pulleys and Crank Pulley Bolt http://youtu.be/ytwKsMozZHY http://youtu.be/mi5c2vdrHQU So I have done an Oil change and used a Wynn's Flush, I have strained all the Oil through a cut of tights and all that is in the mesh is some fine particles, seems to be more carbon than metal, as it's not shiney I also ran some clean oil through before refilling, engine has still not got the knock back, crossed fingers etc, not really driven it again yet though It was mentioned in the other thread to look in the Oil Filter, is there an easy way to do this Edited July 6, 2013 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleshead Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Cut open the filter with a sharp knife(it's only soft metal).. You may be able to use a can opener.. Don't use a saw/ angle grinder. Or anything that creates metal filings. Once it's cut open you will be able to pull the filter element out and inspect it for metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, you made that sound so simples, I ended up making a hole with a hammer and screw driver then hammer and chiselled my way round Again no sign of metal, certainly nothing easily visible anyway What sort of size bits would I be looking for, am I looking for chunks or grains of sand sorts of things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happened to the other thread? I cant find it, did it get deleted? The other thread is offline for the moment, it may reappear, if it does I will get these 2 combined Well I certainly have not found any definite sign of metal, there was a splattering of very fine black (fine sand size) particles, but I think they may be carbon, there is certainly nothing shiney in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT Paul Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 well thats strange but good.. im thinking don't do anymore just yet if noise comes back redo what you've done pulleys etc.. as maybe that area and don't want to go further as you may miss it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I am going to get another 5 litres and change the Oil again in a months time or so. Going to change from the 5w40 to the 10w50 as well, hopefully that may help if it's slightly low on Oil Pressure If the noise comes back I will be first trying the Crank Pulley Bolt, without removing the Belt, as that's the only thing I really made a big effort with The only other thing I can think of is the Aux Belt Tensioner, as I never remember which way to pull the spanner to get the belt off, so I probably tightened the bolt on that Edited July 6, 2013 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 (edited) Are you able to pin point where the sound is coming from exactly? Based purely on that first vid (probably way of the mark here but worth asking) have you checked the spark plugs are all seated properly and tight?

Based purely on that first vid (probably way of the mark here but worth asking) have you checked the spark plugs are all seated properly and tight? Not something I have checked to be honest Nic, but I have got the Cam Cover off and have had the car running, it is actually running fine for the moment No signs of any noise from the plug area, if I am honest here, I would of put money on something internal, I couldn't pin point the noise to a specific area, it was loud and seemed to be coming from the engine as a whole Since time has passed and the knocking has gone, I am just hoping that it was just something weird, as in jammed or stuck or to do with the Crank Bolt or pulleys At this stage I guess it is just a waiting game and to tread carefully for a while, stopping regularly to listen for anything odd Going to be a pain for a while driving on edge all the time, but it's just the way it is I guess Edited July 6, 2013 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted July 6, 2013 Author Share Posted July 6, 2013 (edited) Well its all back together and washed Going to try and get to a show tomorrow, its about 50 miles away at Plymouth Hoe Its almost all Dual carriageway, so I am intending to just cruise down, stopping regularly, taking the tools with me as well, hopefully won't end up on the back of an AA flatbed Edited July 6, 2013 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 Another problem seems to have appeared, not sure if it is related My AFR at idle seems to be lean seems to jump around from normal levels of mid 14's to off scale, this seems to be only when at running temperature While driving the AFR is fine, not sure if this could just be to do with the Oil burn due to the suspected Turbo Seals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
