engine noise
wtf is that noise??
it happen today while i was driving about a 100 km/h on the highway
its been 2 weeks now that took out the car from the garage...
what i did to the engine while rebuilding:
i didnt open the bottom end
i did every seal and gasket(exept for internal bottom end)
new timing chain
new timing chain guide
new timing chain housing
new crank pulley
new valve seal
new water pump
when i opened the engine the first time every thing looked fine
but now after 2 weeks of driving it and not even a 100km put to it
it make that f@#$% noise.
its a 2.3l quad 4 so is there a engine guru that can tell me aproximetly what
is that noise???

Check the timing chain tensioner and just hope it isn't the good ole' #3 bearing.

Still a possibility
From the video, Sounds like the tensioner or rod bearing.
i just really really hope its just the tensioner...
when a rod bearing break while driving its not supose too do any damage to the engine???

i know how to check for the tensioner and the bearing too
but if one of my bearing(or more)got to be replace can i do it from the oil pan??

well since it only makes the noise when u step on it im assuming its the chain cuz when my rod bearing went out it knocked at idle and thats on all 3 of my cars lol but yeah just hope for the best
*****BLAME IT ON THE ALCOHOL*****
Timing chain or lifters.....Doesn't sound like a rod knock to me.

was the oil metalic looking?
no not really
it looked normal to me, nice color, doesnt smell bad,normal texture

if it didnt look metalic then your bearings are fine, if theres something shinny in there its almost always bearing
Get a stethoscope,and try to pin point where the noise is coming from,my bearing didn't sound that thick more of a tap,but my # 3 was half ate up,so if yours is a bearing, its gotta be a bearing really tore up. But if you just messed with the timing the tensioner might be to blame,so look there first.
