yay for new noises
 

the b16 is making a new noise that im unfamiliar with. it sounds kinda like a playing card in the spokes of a bike, but alot quieter. im thinking its has something to do with my valvetrain not getting oil :(

any input?

Re: yay for new noises
 

Simple get a oil pressure gauge and test that ----. Also dont go rippin on it with noises unless you like buying new motors.

im not trust me ;D

Drain your oil and make sure you dont have shavings in it



also check your valve lash and get a gauge man

actually i just had my oil changed in the last week at penziol . im certain they would have told me if i had shavings cuz i go there alot and theyre pretty trust worthy. whats a valve lash?

Re: yay for new noises
 

valve adjustment and the oil change well unless your lookin for it closely your not gonna see shavings

checked my cel i got one for the oil pressure switch, went thru the flowchart and i have continuity. so im guessing its not the switch or my connections. any ideas? oh and the noise is getting louder/worse

rod knock fool

Re: yay for new noises
 

and i get rod knock from? low oil pressure?

edit*

btw the continuity on my oil pressure switch is only one ohm and the continuity on my spool solenoid valve is about 20 something ohms. is this a bad thing?

ok i figured it out. when i used the rywire subharness i put 2 of the pins in the wrong spots. what does the oil pressure switch do anyways?
