What the ???? does this sound like to you guys??

[AWDTSIer]

Ok, so i had this noise occur earlier but cannot tell if its the rod bearings, thrust bearing failure, or a BS bearing??

It bogs like crazy, and has no power...

Id like your guys input. Thanx.

Im thinking of draining the oil this weekend, check for shavings and such.
Also, my oil pressure is normal...if that helps any.

I have a similar noise coming from my 6 bolt during a cold start...it usually goes away after 15min and disappears above 3.4k rpm, I'm quite certain mine is caused by a leaky lifter...although yours sounds a bit worse. How does the oil on the dipstick look? Any glitter?

sounds like lifter tick..
Or like the head is not getting oil to it.

PS..where did you get that 4g63t logo at??

 

[Justins99GSX]

Sounds like lifter tick... Pretty common on these cars... 3rd gen lifters will fix it

 

[viperlp01]

Rod knock possibly. My buddies sounded exactly like that did. Sorry for the misfortune. You oil pressure shouldn't be affected and my friend still drove the car around until he got his new bottom end. It did get worse...

Or you broke a spring or something because i have never heard any dsms lifter tick sound like that. wow it was loud as hell.

I thought mayb a collapsed lifter at first, but its knocking way to bad in my OP to be a lifter.

i checked the oil on my dipstick and looks fine, im going to change it this weekend to make sure.

My buddy actually custom makes logos for valve covers, he does all kinds of awsome work!!

However i am going to be doing a 6 bolt bottom end swap soon with a bunch more upgrades. I just wasnt ready to do the swap quite yet...

Kinda sounds like one of your timing belt pulleys are hitting your timing cover. But, the tick is the obvious lifter tick.

 

[myturbo]

not to get off the subject but mine ticks a little and im pulling out the motor to build it up was wondering where i can get 3g lifters and are they direct replacement

 

[viperlp01]

how is that lifter tick??? Does your cars actually sound like that . I think you are crazy to think that is just "lifter tick". Lifter tick goes away after you get enough oil pressure to the top end and that does not go away. Im surprised at how many people said that.

 

[93_tsi_fwd]

Is it coming from the t-belt side? If so, check your t-belt tensioner bearing if its blown. The loss of power could be caused by jumped timing due to that bearing.

 

[AWDTSIer]

Well it turns out that the problem was my rear BS bearing...doin g a 6 bolt swap now, with BSEK..

 

[mitsueclipse2g]

The knocking sound in the background sounds like my car, which I believe is rod knock.

 

[AWDTSIer]

ooo good stuff, my 7bolt has 190 original miles on the bottom end. I was honestly suprised it was the BS bearing.

 

[viperlp01]

lifter tick you guys are nuts .... Sorry to hear that man...

 

[AWDTSIer]

Haha ya, i knew it wasnt lifter tick...way to severe..

 

[Dsmj89]

Wow 190k miles.. way to go ! Bet she's still runnin' strong. And as mentioned above, i also thought it couldn't be lifter tick. It goes away after a few minutes of warm-up so the oil can lubricate the lifters.

 

[AWDTSIer]

It actually was, i am planning on doing a BSE on it and finding something too do with it..besides a lawn ornament HA.

It wasnt lifter tick, if you read above i found the issue..

 

[Dsmj89]

I read.. it was the rear bs, hehe. Was just giving my late input. Lol @ ornament. Why don't you just rebuild your 7 bolt ? It seems to be a strong motor to have lasted this long.
