914World.com _ 914World Garage _ sound clips

Posted by: bd1308 Jul 11 2005, 06:49 PM

I think it would be useful to have various sound clips of engines running and have some with various conditions....like:

Rod Knock
Clack Clack goes the valves
Low Oil Pressure
Backfiring
Missing

and some with the good stuff like

A good running 1.7,1.8 and 2.0 engine

Check out the clip on my site. My last race with the old 1.7 but she still sounds pretty good.

I haven't accumulated too many "distinctive" T-IV sounds that I would use for troubleshooting engine problems, other than this one:

if it sounds like someone is beating on the engine case with a hammer, good chance it's rod knock....

Okay, I call this one "excessive manifold pressure".

10K will get you a really nice 2316 or a "superhero", that 3.0 is big big $$$ and I don't think he even sells them.
