A strange noise, help

It just keeps getting worse, I fix one thing and something else brakes!

 

I had my timing belt and crank pully changed and now (dont know if it's a coincidence) I have a horrid noise at 4k rpm it also misfires user load at over 4k rpm and there is a constant cammy rattle.

I'll attach a video

 

Any help would be amazing

Thanks

Take a 22mm socket/spanner and turn the engine over until it's at TDC as marked on the crank pulley. Check that the cam pulleys are sitting at the correct position as marked on the timing cover. Just check that your timing is correct first.

 

Are you getting any smoke from anywhere, or just noise?

My brand new tensioner bracket snapped because the hydraulic tensioner was stuck. Press on your timing belt to see if it's tight. Also check your ps pump bolts didnt back out and grinding on the pulley.

Gold star!!! 🌟

The tensioner was stuck / wasn't pushing hard on the belt, so at higher rpm it must have flapped about. Sounds much happier now, will give her a blast tomorrow and see if that did the trick 👍

You're welcome mate. Mine actually slipped two teeth so wouldn't even idle anymore. Didn't even think of it at first but then realised it's a non interfering head.
