UNKNOWN tapping (with Video)

[JRA2000TL]

Fap fap fap...that sounds like a timing belt slapping around...and don't feel bad, I didn't do the "turn the crank twice" thing when I put mine on. I lined up the marks with the belt, used the allen wrench and loaded the tension back onto the belt, and tightened it pretty hard (had to have been over 40 ft./lbs.). No fap fap fap here.

Ok so I did all of the above same noise everything was tight. Tightened the crank to 150ftlb and every thing else to spec . I'm getting an oil pressure tester from Andrew and I will see where I'm at in the morning I work 12 hour overnight shifts . No oil light and ill take some more video of pulleys but it happens with out acc on so idk

 

[digeronimo34]

Oil pressure is fine. He hears the noise threw the timing cover. I think the new belt tensioner is bad.

 

[digeronimo34]

Ok so it was not the tensioner but the oil pump been looking for oil pump removal guide or procedure. Any help would be welcome.

How do you tell if it is an atx pump and pan or the mtx ?
Trying to get this turd running I have to be in daytona beach on the 18 ,19. I am the minister in my brothers wedding. Ahhhh.
The green turd need to be done or I can't go. And they don't get married.

JR, that's a 3,2L oil pump, there's a metal shield filling the gap.

I have a spare 3,0L pump. It's got over 200k miles on it, but it worked fine when I pulled it. If you need it in a pinch it's yours.

I'm with stupid up there

WHat makes you think it's the pump? If its because the flickering oil light you're looking at the wrong place....Do a quick search on here and you'll see what the culprit is quickly.

The logic behind the oil pump was that the rod bearings were said to be new.

We've now learned this not to be the case.

We've also found the source of the tapping.

Uh oh, what happened?

 

[Mr95Gl]

Uh oh, what happened?

The "new" bearings are all shower copper in the worst way.

I still can't believe this car.

The oil pickup tube gasket was in two pieces when he removed it.
