it's still there..Haven't found out what it was..I still drive it as i would any other day just not as often..It does get annoying. I'm itching to get this diagnosed soon cause it's really getting on my nerves. I miss driving it rattle/zinging free.

 

yep exactly same **** with my car.

 

Any shop in the Northeast willing to check it out/diagnose it ? Most shops around here charge stupid fee's to get it checked. I mean come on, it takes 5 seconds for me to rev it and let you hear it. Help me out here.

 

Any vendor/shop CAN YOU PLEASE LISTEN TO MY VIDEOS POSTED BEFORE AND GIVE ME ANY INPUT !?!?!

 

I'd say it's the balance shaft pulley 180* out. Thing's counterweighted so it's very easy for this to happen when the timing belt is off or too much slack is allowed down there if the person doing the cams took the shortcut route. But you say that's been deleted right?

 

Nothing has been deleted. That may very well be the problem. I will just have to take your suggestion/diagnosis to a reputable shop in the very near future and see what they have to say.

 

and btw if that is the problem..what is the fix ? what damage may have been done , if any ? should i be concerned ?

 

seems like everyones is rattling. i know mine does

 

Can you work on your own car??? Pull the timing cover it only requires a 10mm socket, a 10mm wrench, and a 1/4 breaker bar.

 

and do what ?

 

yeah mine does too

i thinks its my clutch though but i did get my clutch and cam's installed at the same time so who knows.. the rattle is real bad in first gear & neutral in high rpms and when it rains for some reason but other then that i dont hear it in any other gears

 

the normal evo or aftermarket clutch TOB rattle is totally different than my rattle or this person thread.

 

Check the balance shaft and oil pump pulley. Why else would it happen after springs and retainers install? You gotta take the timing belt off. Its not the manifold and its doubtful its the springs unless they are defective.

 

With no balance shafts you will have more engine vibration so anything loose or hitting something will sound. It could be anything, you are just going to have to search it out. I'd look at the obvious first, like the exhaust.
