HOrnbrod Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 It's hard to tell anything from the video as you predicted. :( Just for kicks and grins, have you pulled the inspection plate and checked the flexplate for cracks and loose bolts?

Pete M Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 The water pump is new. how new? I had one fail after about 4k miles. bearings died and it ate itself alive. seriously though, it only takes a few minutes to pull the belt off. I'd do it just to eliminate the bearings once and for all. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was afraid of that. Oh well. I need a better camera with a wind sock. All the flex plate bolts are tight. I just checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It better not be the power steering pump or something stupid like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmaay Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 Ok new video with the belt off and hopefully you can hear the noise a little better. The engine is warm in the video. Keep in mind the engine noise is quiet when it's cold. And one more thing that might be related is that you can hear the oil draining back into the pan after shutting off the engine.

Timmaay Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 Exhaust Manifold crack? Maybe. I will try to inspect the manifold more thoroughly. Keep the ideas coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmaay Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 sounds abit like a valve related noise. That's what I'm thinking too. But why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked the exhaust manifold and I didn't see or feel any cracks. I am about ready to just run it as is until it blows up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
