never heard of big ends soundin like that tis a first for me if thats wat it is

**richy** · 08-12-09, 10:29

Yeah, ive heard big ends sounding like its coming from up top also, just the vibrations working up through the block id imagine. A hateful noise

If its only slightly tapping and still running somewhat ok, it might just be manifold gasket or somewhere around there blown, or mayb cracked..

Check and see if theres exhaust gases blowing from somewhere, or if its not this you may have done rocker arm damage if its an SR20.

Yea its an SR20.I didnt get around to taking the rocker cover off yet to see whats its like in there.The car is running fine no shortage in power etc,just this tappin noise.I heard a car running with the big end bearing gone and it was alot louder than this.fingers crossed

Is it still the same langer when It cooled?
Can you make a youtube vid of the noise and fire it up here?

**cork kouki** · 08-12-09, 15:29

if its still running ok could it be the vvt ratteling? would they start ratteling just like that?

**sc86** · 08-12-09, 19:09

has it a vvt sproket?
if its a uk car id bet thats what it is, it went on my 14a and sound like a broke rocker

**ontherack** · 08-12-09, 20:43

Its an S13 might not have VVT.
