Thread: Starter broke while trying to start car O_o

^^^
You know, I had a situation where I had a bad injector, and I have a spare rail with 270cc injectors lying around. It was really convenient to have a spare rail with injectors to swap, instead of wrestling the injectors out.

I've got like 3 rails, so I think I'm always going to keep a spare set on hand to swap when I need to diagnose them.

^Sorry the VID is dark. Just click and it should pop up and play.

^I took the VC off and everything was intact. Pulled all the plugs and didn't see any of the cylinders flooded. I guess the motor is toast :/.

dang that sucks man. i just saw the video heard the noises. it sounds like the its coming from the cams.

^Cams are good. Head is intact. Nothing wrong with the head at all. I was hoping it was just a rocker arm. It's all good. I'll think positive out of this. It is now VE time.

I've never heard anything like it, but I would at least crack the transmission off and see if something is rubbing in there before I chalk up the engine.

It doesn't necessarily sound like a spun bearing...

^Ok.

I'll be pulling the tranny this weekend. Hopefully Louis is right and it's something minor rubbing in there. It does not sound like rod knock, I've had rod knock before. Hopefully I can fix it and get my car back on the road this weekend.





If not, then the back motor has arrived. .

This is the clutch setup I used below. Maybe a spring broke loose from the disk?

One uneducated guess I have is that the flywheel bent just slightly, but I don't know how possible that is.

Oh man I feel like that could be anything. A couple bent valves (happened to me when I hydro-locked my first engine), a bent rod causing the pistons to hit the counterweights, it could be something in the bellhousing causing that noise. I have no clue.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's something in the bellhousing. You're just gunna have to dive into it and find out.
