Big Supes Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Just pulled the Supra out of the garage and fired it up for the first time since JAE so, as a precaution, I always pop the bonnet (after long rests), check the fluids and listen for any nasties. What caught my attention was the sound of a possible heat shield rattle around the exhaust manifold, but as I increased the rpm something else caught my ear and it was coming from the inlet cam. I've attached a video below. It's a whirring sound and if you put your ear to the cam cover, you can hear it's clearly coming from that region. Maybe I'm being over cautious, but I'd like a second opinion before driving it. Cheers.

ripped_fear Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Could it be a vac leak? Does sound a little odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 Im pretty sure there are no vac pipes around that region, only breather pipes. My biggest concern is that its the camshaft bearings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Is that the area the sound is the loudest then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 Yes mate. Ended up taking a slow cruise to Dorchester to see our chums James, Chris and Makylia for dominoes and movie. No horrible noises and it appears to the gone. Will check to see if it's back this morning when its cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
