I have a 2.2 that I recently did a top-end on. As you know I am new to the SIX's and am not familiar with their NORMAL sounds.
When I rev slowly the engine everything is fine but when I rev the engine fast and let off the throttle I can hear a tap/rap coming from the timing chain housing on the (123) side. when I put my hand on the housing I can also feel what sounds like the chain hitting the housing. It's not a very loud sound but it is there. Since I am now hyper sensitive to any sound I noticed it I found a sound file of a car with a failed timing chain tensioner and mine sounds nothing like that. It only happens coming off throttle If anyone is near West Chester or Philly and wants to help and hear my engine please e-mail me. Kerrys914@yahoo.com. Cheers |

Kerry ,was it hard before you opened the bleeder,if so it probably needs more oil and proper bleeding, your choice,
Take the collar off , youll see a snap ring take that out then a tin shield and a spring, you will see an alum. disc with a collar pointing up along the shaft,grab that with some pliers an pull up out of the tensioner. put some motor oil in it . then with a wire find the hole around the piston down in the oil .with lite pressure ,push down and it should open the valve , and you can move the shaft up and down slowly. This will bleed the lower chamber.Add more oil if necessary. Then fit the alum piece back in and with resting on the oil crack the side bleeder push the disc back into the level that you can put the spring and snpring bak in .tighten the bleeder . actually put the spring and disc back in and snap ring. Should be rock hard . Like others have stated you should need a vice to compress,.slowly From memory so might not be 100% accurate . The Capn rebuilds em. |
