Hey all

 

Took me KE70 for a drive earlier and when i came home, i shut car off.. but the car still ran for about 4 seconds and suddenly stopped with a nasty grinding noise.

 

Have just came back from a drive to shop to get dinner, and a when i started it, its making a nasty ticking grinding noise. it was a little louder with revs, but i putted all way there and back.

 

Will have a closer look 2morrow to make sure nothen has came loose, or one of the push rods has fallen off..

 

all the gaps, timing, ect was done saturday just gone. so i don't know. i don't rev past 5k which is hardly often anyway..

 

 

Any ideas? :P

I know Dan!!!

While idling in your driveway before you turned your car off a small gerbal was sucked into your intake and now is a mash inside your cylinder!!

 

But yeah i say take off the rocker cover and see if you can sus something out! :D

I think the following link could be of some help.

Sounds a bit like your motor needs decarbonising.

seems that could work.

 

don't explain what the knock/ticking noise is though

Started car this morning, no sound..... then as it warmed up the loud ticking noise came.

checked under the rocker cover, nothen.. its all good.

 

I really dunno..

When you turn the key off and it keep running a bit this is called "over-run".

 

You might have a bit of fuel pooling in the manifold which would cause this, and also the hunting idle. :dance:

buried cam engine? ima ssuming since you mentioned rocker cover then it is.

 

Ticking can be a bunch of things, usually develops in older engines with a bit of wear and tear, and in most cases is simply the rocker gear clacking away.

 

Could also be a crook lifter or something similar. Have you just finished rebuilding the engine or something (all the gaps, timing, ect was done saturday just gone) or was that a general tune up (plugs etc)

 

Might be worth checking that the rocker gear is all tight, not flapping around like a cock in a shirt sleeve.

 

 

As for the over-run issue, could be a carby issue too.

yea was a tune up.

 

Found it its a timing chain. has stretched and started rattleing. Noise is there on idle, but under load the noise is gone. so I'm assuming the chain has got tention on it and noise is gone.

What kind of oil do you use and when was it last changed?

Not sure and not sure...

 

Only had car about 3 weeks.... whys that ?
