Oh yeah forgot to mention that when I had started it up it ran and then died about about a minute after running. don't know if that helps at all.

 

I would try what stealth said first, then worry about the rest if you cant find it....

 

Times eleventybillion. :1

Sounds like you are not to up on the cars thing so you might want to get someone who actually knows something to help you out in person.

 

ok. so come here tryin to learn stuff and asking ?'s then just get bashed like that. thanks I am just gonna swap out the d16z6

 

HMT get used to getting bashed.

On a serious note it is hard to diagnose an engine nopise over the interweeb. Do you really know your way around the engine bay and the terminology? Seriously man, someone who knows their ---- can teach more in 10 minutes in person than someone on the internet can in a month.

 

check your water pump, is the car temp. acting up at all, anything wierd

 

Pull the oil pan and check the rod bearings. The rod may be slapping around on the crank. That would suck. I just blew my ls/vtec integra for the same reason because I didn't check soon enough. broke the rod in half and the piston.

 

Doh! Wrong thread. :1

 

yeah I am getting used to it. I do not know proper terminology. I learned a lot from here and my friends. My one friend who is helping me is ase certified. He has swapped and rebuilded engines before. Yeah I am just gonna swap out the engine then tear apart my z6 to see what is wrong with it. I think that it is the timing belt/water pump i went to drive yesterday to my friend's where doin the swap and i made it bought 5 miles then died would not even start.

 

UPDATE got the engine pulled on sat. got a d15b vtec on the way gonna replace all the neccessary things like gaskets water pump timing belt starter and then put it in. gonna keep the other engine tear it apart see what happened and save as a spare engine.

thanks
