shite_meister Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Get a big flat screwdriver out and use your ear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Station Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Get a mechanic's stethoscope thingy. I'd imagine the chain would manage a worse noise. Can't you take the cover off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't you take the cover off?I can, it's four fucking massive crosshead screws.At that point I had no tools and a pigeon shitting in the garage, so I was slightly pre occupied.

bigstraight6 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Take the fan belt off and see if the noise goes away.Either that or check the belt tension, my zodiac was making a similar din from the front of the engine which everyone that heard it including mechanics thought to be the timing chain, about a month ago I noticed that the fan belt was loose, after being tightened the noise stopped!....
