Okay, it's driving me nuts. It's been a few weeks now, but my engine still
rattles. It's okay for a minute or two on start up, but then it rattles
pretty much throughout the rev range, though less discernible higher up.
Very noticable, though, at 3000 rpm.
I thought I had the problem licked, as I posted a while back - with the
new upper chain guide on the valve cover. On the weekend, I loosened the
alternator and checked the Swedish Dynamics poly bushings. They were good,
with the exception of the tensioner arm one. It showed some wear, but I
added a washer to the bolt and I think that will help. It's not jumping
around so much now, that's for sure.
Everything else is solid. I checked the chain, I checked the tensioner
(shows 9mm extension), all the lifters are good, all the guides are good
too. What gives?
The car doesn't perform any worse. Could the rattle be the injectors? Ever
heard of that? How about the more ominous piston knock? What are other
symptoms of the latter?
Fingers crossed it's all cool. Any and all suggestions appreciated! And
did you hear the racing myth that an car will run its best time in the
quarter right before it blows up?
