Clicking .. Tapping Noise ...

BlackStang · March 30th, 2007, 10:24 PM

Ok Theres a Clicking Tapping Noise Coming From The Passenger Side Of The Engine Bay ... When It Starts Cold You can Hear It But Once It Warms Up You Cant .. Every time I Accelerate it from the engine baby (throttle body) .. Under Mid Hard Acceleration You can Hear The Clicky Noise .... And At Times When Im Driving And I Gun It i Can Smell The Gasoline .... ???

My Grandfather who'm we own a shop together says it might be an exhaust leak but he looked under it and found nothing ..... were waiting for my dad to come back from a trip to find out whats what ..... any ideas ??

Ok Heres An Image ... Not My Engine ,, The Sound From Where It's Heard The Strongest Is Circled In Red

could be loose bolts? like when u give it gas the engine vibrates, also like when u start her up on a cold day she will rev to 2500 rpms. maby the CAI(Or Ram air) is loose,or knocking off the side(or anything). just check for loose bolts/parts

...I know I've said this a lot lately, but this im 95% sure of. I am def. saying bent rod here. If it is doing what you say, classic sign of bent rod. It does it worse when cold because the oil hasnt gone through the seal to the rod and it's banging metal on metal.

The rods are $2.18 a piece. You can do it yourself. its not hard at all. Just get a Haynes Manual. All you will need are the rods.

Damn .... Is It safe To Run My Pony Till I Get The Piece Its Been Going On Over a month now .... at first i thought itt was a simple leak in the exhaust ...

HMUSN · March 30th, 2007, 11:44 PM

I Got Curious Today And Bought Some Octane Booster Immediatly I Smelled Stronger Fumes from Inside The Car While my Windows Where Down .... i Then Proceeded With Seafoam And Noticed That Smoke Was Pouring From The Passenger Header .... My Grandfather Told Me That It Was Really Tight When He Last Checked It

Ok..... Octane booster is a waste of money. it doesnt help you at all. Also, where was the smoke coming from? Was it between the manifold and the block? or was it the donut gasket (where the manifold meets the down pipe [ y pipe] ???

When i Saw It It Looked Like It Came From The Lower Portion Of The Header ... I Have Dual Direct without cats...

Is there a chance that what your hearing is an exhaust leak seeing as how the seafoam was coming out near where the header and head meet up and exhaust leaks can sound a lot like what your describing

Hmm,

I could have sworn I posted in this thread. Anyway - You have an exhaust leak. Cracked passenger side manifold. Very common
