TT350 Posted August 22, 2015 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
TT350 Posted August 22, 2015 Author 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
ZMANALEX Posted August 22, 2015 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. Quote

Yeah will get it over to Ken at RE Performance in Bury. Nice and local. Fingers crossed. Quote
