havn't drove the car for a few days as I noticed a rattling sound coming from the engine that rises and drops with engine revs, not a light tappety sound a deeper tap from within the engine, seems to be best heard if held at around 2k while the engines warm, while its cold it isnt as loud which doesnt make sense to me because the engines cold so shouldn't there be more play until the engines up to temperature? :confused:

I hope its not the big end bearings! Whats the oil pressure like?

If you want to check if its piston slap.retard the ignition.this will lower the load on the piston and reduce the noise.

Could be worth changing the VVT springs in the intake camshaft sprockets - much cheaper than an engine rebuild. If its bottom end, then to find which cylinder is causing the problem, disconnect one coilpack at a time and bring it to 2k revs, when you disconnect the coilpack on the damaged cylinder, then the noise will be a lot quieter if not gone all together ;)

I knew it was going to need an engine rebuild but was hoping it wouldn't be this soon =( a mate of a mate who has just built an 800bhp skyline has offered to take the engine out and change the pistons and rods plus bearings etc for £800 plus parts which sounds rather reasonable, a know you pay for what you get nut I've heard of a few other engines he's built so he must have a good idea what he's doing

If you trust him then that really is an awesome price! He WILL regret it :rofl: ;)

exactly ;) lol obviously will speak to him first about what he will actually do to check the bores etc for damage but he's supposed to know what he's doing and just does it as a hobby from home from what I've heard.

 

eagle rods,wiseco pistons and upgraded flywheel+clutch while engine is out, next on the list 555's :D I've applied for a new job so hopefully shouldn't take too long if i get it :hyper: already have larger smic's and hks gt2530's so will 450fwhp be a good guess?

and what is thew name of said friend
