[CU2] funny noise from the engine when slow accelerate

[Bobjones]

A timing chain rattle is much easier to believe than pinging as there are only a very small percentage of vehicles effected. In saying that, a very small percentage (under 2%) of all K series engines have a problem with Timing Chain Rattle. It is usually a guide problem, but occasionally a tensioner. Usually it is more prevelant with a cold engine. While this can be annoying to some it has no effect whatsoever on engine life.


This has been the worst purchase of a vehicle in my life...

You could have brought a falcadore and been a lot worse off.[/QUOTE]

As I mentioned in the other thread, I would answer this one in more detail.

To have you quote such percentages, you are either nieve or working for Honda, which in either case makes you look like a clown.

As for it being such a problem in the new K series, we are yet to see, but I am far from going to the lengths of stripping down an engine that is new and under warranty to prove a point, hell we just had to pull down the stroker in the Evo race car and I am far from wanting to do that again in my spare time which is small if not not existant.

I am sorry, but the timing chain controls the operation of the head and is vitally important with respect to the timing of the valves run by the cams. Should the chain skip a few teeth, the end result in most instances is a reduction in power, skip a few more and your probably looking at picking bits of the valves out of the piston crown, having coured bores, completely rooted head as the lifters get screwed the cams get scoured, fubared valve guides and all kinds of pieces found in your cat conveter which is it now how for most of the fubared parts spat out of the combustion cycle before everything ceased or went to hell.

Oh and if I had of bought a falcon or commodore I would have expected the problems that come with those cars, though they are getting fewer and farer between events. I could have bought a Subaru atleast they stopped production, did a complete recall and halted sales on all stock due to an engine issue with pinging and adressed it prior to continuing to make a buck with sales as they knew it would more than likely have been detrimental to overall customer loyalty and long term sales.

As to the actual problem, I have been told the same with respect to the new year, though it needs to go back again fr the parcel shelf issue...

Oh and Happy New Year to all CU2 owners, I hope it brings good news and a better result!!!
