I had an oil axle seal replaced yesterday and on my way home the car started to
make a horrible noise every time I shift. It's like a grinding or a whine. It only happens when shifting into gears and goes away when I hit the gas. It also chatters at idle in neutral. Does anyone have a clue?

 

i think im getting the same noise, i'd also like some help!!

 

If ur driving the car stop! I just blew my motor. It wasnt the the trans!!! My cams valves and u name it were destroyed! I didnt even get to drive it hard yet

 

Wow! That really sucks! What happened, u went lean or something? Hmmm, I see u are running a K&N typhoon and I hope that wasn't the cause of your problems.

 

Ummm, where does the noise come from, can you tell? By the head, wheels, timing belt, etc?

 

all the rockers blew off except one... the lifters are stiff as hell and looking at the cam gears i noticed belt dust laying on the inside of them. i have been running the K&N for 2 yrs without a problem. i have only 20k on the car and its never been to a track.
i thought the noise was coming from the trans not the motor. i feel like I'm gonna be sick

 

The car got delivered to CBRD today and Chad and Mark are gonna take the motor apart tomorrow. They are doing this on their day off too...

 

yeah,

we are a bit perplexed also... but we are looking into it today.... cams were installed a few weeks ago, I made sure the timing was correct myself.... we do cams every other day at the shop..

this time we used a greddy timing belt which we've never used, only the PE upgraded belt.... we always bleed the lifters also.... so those shouldnt have failed... interesting part is, it appears to only be on the intake cam side of the motor!

It's interesting how the rockers were basically "spit" out while the cam caps were all tight/torqued.... we are a bit confused about it also...

once we have a diagnosis we will let everyone know.

dont worry joe- we are on top of it!

I'm gonna name my first born CBRD!!!! Hell you can come over to my house and F*ck my sister... LOL ... Just kidding she's a prude. We are so lucky to have such and awesome shop like Chad's in the area. By the way if anyone wants my Buschur cat back it's for sale. PM me

 

Joe,

i will have the bottom line figured out for you this week....

we stand by our work, and like to take care of our clients... the failure on this one cant be totally set on one thing at the moment... so we will handle 50% of the repairs!

Now thats service you don't see in this industry very often, even from the big name shops. I expected nothing less from you though Chad.

Keep up the good work

 

at this point, looks like we are doing a complete crate motor, so the swap is quick and he can get back on the road...

cb

thanks guys....

 

This definatly goes above anything that most shops would do. Chad you guys are top notch and this shows alot about your ethics.

 

I can't say enough good things about Chad and CBRD!!! Chad is a stand up guy! If you drive a Evo or STI and live in PA, MD, VA, NJ, and NY you would be crazy not to have Chad and CBRD work on your car!!! We are very lucky to have Chad around

 

Don't forget about MINI's foo!

Sorry to hear about your EVO tho man...

we'll get you fixed right up! (well, Chad and Mark will, I'll just stand around swearing and making jokes)
