STERLING STINGER Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 whenever i shut my 88 off, it ticks under the valve cover for about a min when i remove the oil cap, there is a little "smoke" there (inside my garage, not condensation) my gauge reads like 30 at idol and 40 at @ 2000 rpms which seems right to me????? my assumption, since everything else is going wrong that can, is that the lifters arent getting oil and they are expanding or contracting, creating that sound so therefore i need an oil pump ...please tell me I'm crazy....
Geonovast Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Almost all motors tick for a few minutes after they've been running and got up to temp. It's just the metal cooling down. From what I know, the little bit of "smoke" is normal. Every motor I've ever had did that if it was up to temp. Oh, and we all already knew you were crazy. :nuts:
DJM/78 Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 pretty common with high milage motors or rebuilds . Probably doesn't mean anything bad . Those 4.0's are strong .
STERLING STINGER Posted February 3, 2010 Author Posted February 3, 2010 YOU DUDES are crazy....what do u sit there at ur computer just waiting 4 questions? plus...for me not to worry about this is not gonna cut it i need more....mu ha ha ha
Geonovast Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 YOU DUDES are crazy....what do u sit there at ur computer just waiting 4 questions?/quote] Uh... yes. :oops: But with you around, we don't have to wait long. :roll: :rotf:
STERLING STINGER Posted February 3, 2010 Author Posted February 3, 2010 great...thanks what you dudes must think of me :hmm:
DJM/78 Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Hell I'm learning by watching you . :popcorn: Wha'ch ya gonna break next ? :yes:
STERLING STINGER Posted February 3, 2010 Author Posted February 3, 2010 just went out and started it cold, then shut it right off STILL TICKING FOR ABOUT A MIN :rant:
DJM/78 Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Is that the motor you just replaced ? Did you let it warm up ?
STERLING STINGER Posted February 3, 2010 Author Posted February 3, 2010 yes its the motor just replaced it does it if its hot or the way i just did it, cold its at normal temp below 210? on the dash
DJM/78 Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Well If you want too , take it back to the SOB that put it in there . Do a leak down test on it yourself , to check compression . If the motor is bad , tell him to get you a new one . My truck does the same thing , sometimes it almost sounds like a diesel motor knocking away . However mine has 200,000 k miles on a factory built 4.0 HO . Its kind of expected . :dunno:
deziped Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Lets see. Could it be delayed flue pump reverberations echoing off the walls of the fuel tank and escaping up the fuel lines to the injectors. No, that BS won't fly, so it's gotta be contraction of valves, springs, or some other metal parts in there. Sounds like my shower hot water pipes after I shut the water off in the morning on a cold day.
STERLING STINGER Posted February 3, 2010 Author Posted February 3, 2010 thats what i would of guessed, but.... :dunno:
64 Cheyenne Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 I quit worrying about "sounds" from my engine when I quit "smoking :chillin: ", If I didn't I'd be fixin another broke sound every day. :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:
comanche09 Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 My engine sounds like its peeing when I shut it down in the garage... I think it is just oil making its way down the galleys to the pan... or am i crazy? :ack: :rotfl2:
STERLING STINGER Posted February 4, 2010 Author Posted February 4, 2010 i swear to god ihear sounds all the time i find myself driving with the radio and heater off (when I'm warm) to just listen to see what i have to fix next! :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: but I'm cool with that noise and smoke? :dunno:
jimoshel Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 If you really want to hear ticking pinging noises, listen to a 9 cylinder Lycoming, Continental or Pratt whitney cooling down. Those are radial, air cooled aircraft engines, boy.
Blue XJ Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 Mine makes the same ticking noise after I shut it down. It usually does it more if the motor is still cool when I shut it off. Its been doing it since i built the stroker 10k miles ago, I'm not gonna worry about it, unless it changes.
