Thread: what the hell is this (video)

That sounds like some knockage to me.

i was told if it was a rod it would be louder, dude said it had something to due with valves. And it seems to be commin from the exhaust side. and if it was a rod knock wouldnt it still make noise at idle?

I can't hear the actual knock, but it sure sounds like the cars I've heard with knock. Here's a video I found online that sounds like yours, but with a more audible knock:

YouTube - GA16de Rod Knock

Here's one with pretty bad knock:

YouTube - 200sx SE-R sr20de

Maybe i'm crazy i don't hear knocking just that weird gurgling noise? Yeah he has some valve train noise but nothing sounds that bad. Can you make a video of it holding at higher rpms?


Dudeman

moare buy a new motor an youll be str8.. I TOLD YOU THE THING IN THE OIL PAN ISNT GOOD.

x2 compared to the other vids of knocking, it definitly isnt as distinctive as the others

your right i do need another motor. but i'm broke
i thought swappin the head like the tech around my block said would be straight. I donno i'll probably have the motor out this weeken and taken apart.

new video at higher rpm commin right at ya

What thing in the oil pan???

The plot thickens...

valve shim. was an extra. previous owner did valves i guess.

Interesting...

So a valve shim was in the pan... I'm wondering now if the previous owner really did a valve job, or if he threw a rocker, caused some damage, and then found a shim to put in its place so that he could sell the car/motor as running...
