Hi folks, I recently rebuilt my scooby engine with a new bottom end but the engine has some kind of 'tappety' diesel fiesta noise I am trying to find.

Is there anyone who could pop round for a listen and give me any ideas.

I am going to try the screwdriver against the block/ear, and removing the injector plugs one at a time to try and narrow it down but another pair of ears just to hear the noise would help.

I am off work thurs-sun and will be working on the car most days.


Thanks Chris..

 

Who rebuilt it ??

 

Myself

 

I'm near EK, but i wouldn't know what i was listening for, sorry. But if you need a hand, give me a shout.

Super busy with a current poker table build, but could pop by.

 

Cheers dude..

 

Does it quieten when it heats up? What was done (pistons, rebore etc)

Some rebuilt engines with certain forged pistons have a bit of slack which is taken up when warm so it sounds like adeisel on start up but gets quiet when warm.
