I was headed to the folks house for Thanksgiving. Stopped to get some gas(200 miles in) and when I stared it up it sounded like something was stuck in the fan or air passagess bouncing around. I shut it down, checked the oil and the pressure was pressure was ok. So I drove it the rest of the way home(about 50 miles).
The noise only came back when I was at idle up to around 1500 rmp. Above that everything was fine. Would the car still run with a dropped valve seat? How can I check if I dropped one? And is their anyway to check the air passages with out dropping the engine? Thanks guys, I've got my fingers crossed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Samson |

QUOTE(aircooledboy @ Nov 24 2004, 02:34 PM) It sounds to me like maybe you sucked something into the fan housing. You would check by reaching into the center of the fan hub .......I have had my alternator cover thingy sucked into the fan a couple times, and it sounded like what you described. I think that's what it is too, it's very much like something is tying up the belt and pulling the eninge speed down. I reached into the impeller fan, nothing, and looking inside the heater ducks, no luck. What's the alternator thingy you mention and where would I find it? |
