My car is making a noise like lifters or rods but everything looks ok


the lifters are new (124miles) and the rods bearing like this:



timing belt kit changed(250miles) oem parts

without serpentine belt the noise is still there

any ideas?

thanks

 

New lifters make even more noise if not bled correctly.

 

but de noise its exactly the same after changed lifters

 

is it possible the noise is maked by timing belt tensioner arm?

 

I have never seen the tensioner making that noise. Sounds to me it's coming from the head. I suggest taking the VC off and go over the lash adjusters one by one.

 

the lash adjusters are new and i controled when i put them at their place

 

any update? I have the same problem.

 

no

I always the noise

 

Bleed the lifters using the diesel fuel method outlined in the manual. It fixed my problem.

 

the lifters are new

tested without oil cap

 

Doesn't matter if you didn't bleed them...

 

but without oil cap the noise doesn't change

 

Use a long screwdriver or a stethoscope and pin point the noise.

 

already done

with a stethoscop the noise comes either turbo or downpipe, before turbo no noise

 

hi everyone

i made un compression test on my engine, the result:





the 1° cylinder is the timing belt side

what do you think?
