Rebelord Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Finished up today. Aligned smooth and teeth count was perfect. Fired it up. And making a racket. Shut it off. Guess I'll tear it down tomorrow again. Sent from my Moto X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precise1 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Did you tighten everything back down properly? B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebelord Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Yup. Noise is from valve cover area at first it sounded like dead lifters. But stayed after 2 mins of running. So shut it down and called it quits Sent from my Moto X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebelord Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Just going to rip apart the top tommorow and set to TDC and see where the marks are Sent from my Moto X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferrariowner123 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 If your TDC was off but teeth count was good, that means that either the crank or one of the cams did a full rotation, and it munched the valves into the pistons. But if you say it ran for two minutes, its not that. Define "racket" like a grinding, taping, etc. I've got some it could be a loose timing cover, i broke some of the oil pump mounts on my VG, so the timing cover can sometimes hit the crank and then stop all of a sudden (at least that's what i think it is.) Let us know how the tear down goes. -Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebelord Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Once the TB was on and tension set. I rotated the engine by hand 7-8 times. If the valves were to hit. I would have been stopped there. Unless Im mistaken. Or really stronk? Sent from my Moto X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebelord Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Started right up this morning. Still has the sound. I'll take a video and post it. But basically sounds like a collapsed lifter in a small block chevy/ford etc. Sent from my Moto X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebelord Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Ok the noise was the drivers side cam sprocket bolt loosened up. So it was no bueno. Got it 80% back together and fires up and idles. Valve train is still noisy though. However a lot is still disassembled. Sent from my Moto X 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebelord Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 Yup. Guess I just didnt get it tight enough. Its all done and complete. Fluids topped off and drives great. I have a long trip for work tomorrow. Once at the destination and work complete. I think I'll check the timing again. Because I did mark and pull the distributor out. To check its teeth and its bearing. Even though that was just done last June/13. Depending on how it drives may advance it a smidge since it was set for 14*. Still there with the TPS disconnected and ECU reporting 14* no advance. Reconnect the TPS and ECU takes over in the advance and retard of it. I'll just double check it to be safe. Oh, and because of the extra time it all took. Didnt change my oil. I'll do that Thursday probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devonianwalk Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 That has to be the coolest video I've seen of a running VG33E engine. Kudos' for the vid with the upper timing cover removed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 The timing should be 15 not 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebelord Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 15 +/- 2* Technically it can be from 13-17* Sent from my Moto X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebelord Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 All said and done. Had to take a 6hr round trip for work yesterday. Ran like a champ. Even got better gas mileage? But I'll see how it goes for a few tanks. A mod can close this thread. If they want can use the YouTube link for reference if they want.

thorpe991 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 how did you get yours to start with those lines off (idle air and the valve cover pipe thing) if i have ether off mine wont start it will fire and if im on the gas itll start but stall out as soon as i let off the gas and if the idle air one comes unhooked wile idling it shuts down to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebelord Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 All electronic was plugged in except the maf. Which will just put the ecm into closed loop mode. As for those lines. It just acts like a vacumn leak. Thoae are just to vent the crank case. Sent from my Moto X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
