lol yeah i could do that, but higher power = higher insurance, and u can only go fast on the road anyway, i want a nice car, then when i have a nice car i might buy me a track car sw20's mayb cheap enough by then

Gutted, don't know when it started (listen to music tooo loud) but engine finally threw a tantrum today. :evil:

knock, knock... etc. Sounds like died of what yours has got. Gutted too, I just did an oil change yesterday cos it feeling a bit funky.

Still runs though and will recieve the customary brick on the velocirator

by **strap-on** » Mon Jun 28, 2004 11:47 am

if you really wanna have fun with ot, take all the oil and water out, get ur mates round, put the brick on the accelerator and place bets on how long the engine will last

:D:D

by **Chickenman** » Mon Jun 28, 2004 1:46 pm

Thats totally the plan dude!

But trying to find nother engine now cos don't wanna drive a sentra for any longer than absolutely necessary :cry:

*update*

my engine is now really making a louder tapping noise, its not the real fast vibrating that im pretty sure is the vvt pulley now, put a tapping coming from the cylinder that it no.3 from the cambelt end,

been told its a few things, the engine was really low on oil, the guy at the garage said its probabaly been seeping thru the valve sleeve, someone else said its a sticky valve.

are sticky valves a rpoblem with these cars or has my car done waaaa more km's than i was lead to beleive?

Hay, I have a blacktop and it seems to be making the same noises as yours. I was told by the Toyota dealer that it might be the VVt pulley as well and he quoted me $900!!! for a new one. My engines only done 115000 k's.
Must of been all those times the rev counter hit 8000

by **Mr Revhead** » Wed Jun 30, 2004 9:24 am

its quite common for 4ages to run bearings if the oil gets down, they only have about 3ltrs in the sump.

i can do those pulleys for waaaay less than that, around $4-500

by **strap-on** » Wed Jun 30, 2004 12:19 pm

so what you guys suggest i do?

take my head apart and see whats wrong and rebuild it? or just rebuld the whole engine while im there?

has anyone got a link to a diagram for the inside of my head, ( or any twincam head for that matter) so i can see what all these parts are that people talk about.

by **Mr Revhead** » Wed Jun 30, 2004 12:32 pm

what id do is go see a coupla GOOD mechanics... its very hard to diagnose faults like this... we could all be wrong!!

by **strap-on** » Wed Jun 30, 2004 12:35 pm

oh yeah well if i go for the rebuld it will be done by a good mechanic,

either way im probabaly gonna still be buying som parts off ya warrick,

im sick of that vvt pully noise so i might just rip it off and go for adjustable cam gears

by **Mr Revhead** » Wed Jun 30, 2004 12:39 pm

haha im not worried about sales, just trying to give good advice!

if you go to non vvt pullys youll lose drivability.

what i meant was for an acurate diagnosis go see a good mechanic, toyota is recommended! or any one els with experience in these engines

by **strap-on** » Wed Jun 30, 2004 12:57 pm

lol oh yeah, i will go get a mechanic to listen to it, hmmmm whats more expensive tho, the cam gears or the vvt pully?
