3100 V6 Ticking Noise
96 Skylark, 3100 SFI V6. It's made quieter ticking sounds before but not nearly this loud. I've been using part synthetic high mileage oil for almost a year, just dropped in some Mobile Super Synth and this started up. Lifter tick? Piston slap? Knock? Something else? Apologies for the crappy camera work, I was trying to focus on sound and I don't usually record video. :\
When it started it was erratic, and then it could only be heard at a LOW idle. Now you hear it until the engine drowns it out at higher revs.
Part 4/5 Megasquirted 3.1L V6 Installation - a 1973 MGBGT
This sequence documents the 'near' final hardware configuration/installation of my 3.L V6 into my 1973 MG BGT. Video details engine installation details , the dash and gauge additions/modifications and the '5-ball' shift lever.
Engine Noise...What is it?
Lifter tick? Doesn't seem like rod knock since everything seems to say that's fairly loud/expensive sounding. Possibly the timing chain? How about an Exhaust manifold leak (bad gasket)?
It makes the noise all the time, doesn't quiet down when the engine warms up, so that pretty much rules out piston slap. I first noticed it ~1000mi ago when I had the new Exhaust put on (old one was either too loud to hear it, or the noise didn't start until new Exhaust went on), and it has only gotten louder since then.
Edit to add: It turns out the ticking was a loose spark plug. It had backed out of its hole & tightening it back up fixed the problem.
1994 Beretta 3400, Pacesetter headers and Magnaflow muffler
Short Exhaust clip of my current setup. Still need some welding done on the pipes, but not too notable in the video. Yes, wierd angle on the camera, was done with a Palm Pre 2 sitting on a rag propped up by a roll of masking tape, lol.
Pacesetter headers cut to fit, catless and resonator-less, full 2.5" piping back to a Magnaflow Magnapack and Hooker dual resonated tip.
1994 Beretta cammed 3400 swap, Comp Cams street cam with .480 lift, FFP underdrive pulley, TCE 65mm throttle body, MRZ solid mounts, Taylor Thundervolt 8.2mm wires, A/C and EGR delete.
And plenty of other little suspension mods and other extras...
