TT350 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I'm pretty sure it has. I've sort of detected a slight rattle now over the past week but over the exhaust it was barely audible. Then today it just got a he'll of a lot worse. The rattle has turned into a clatter at about 1500-2000rpm but then subsides. Sounds like top of engine, left bank as you look down at the bay. Think of like a really sh1tty old diesel clatter. Like that. Bearing? Cheers one and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT350 Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 Cam or bucket possibly. Not think rod? How does a cam fail? And I have no idea what a bucket is other than the mop kind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Well it could be rod bearing / crank but that is the bottom and you said top of engine. The bucket sits between the top of the valve and the lobe of the cam. Best to let a pro have a listen as the above are just a few informed guestimates.
