hi after 3 days and nites up the garage putting my bugeye back together after bottom end failure i rebuilt with a friend and done well. upon starting after a few set backs that were easy fixes i started her up and wouldnt fire i plugged it up to snap on and error code p1092 came up (sensor near the injectors). i cleared the code and tried again engine light is still on and now when running its tickking over lovely but when i rev up then let go about 10 to 15 rpm there is a slight rattle, the bottom end is forged so could my luck be this bad that is gone before i have finished? or could the timing be out im close to suicide so before i go i need to know what this prob is before i do lol

 

its comming from only the drivers side sounds like a heat shield rattle but its certainly internal also if i rev up it drops in revs and 90% cuts out.

 

It's really hard to say with out seeing or hearing the noise..

 

defo internal there are quite a few posts on the ticking

 

Maybe you should film it and post it up here?

Does it do it when the revs are rising or is it hard to tell because of exhaust noise?

 

it doesnt seem to do it under load only when easing off but may well be doing it when reving up but louder when easing off its head sort of area.

 

have you had any bother with the clio as imhaving loads angle position sensor and mylst bill was 700 quid never had bother with a scoob to the op sorry for hyjacking your thread

 

Check your timing belt. It sounds as if it might be a tooth out on one side.

 

ok cheers bud will get a light on it at some point see if that tells me

 

No touch wood its been brilliant.

 

hi i was hearing a noise in my ej20 and how i detected that a bearing had gone was by removing each plug lead rev the engine till you find which bank is making the sound.I found my number 4 had run a big end. hope this info helps bud good luck.
