    Valve Clearance

    In terms of adjustment, I just want to make sure of something here. Am I adjusting the gap between the red arrow or the green arrow? And finding out the difference on the cams would be fun, but not the hard way :D

    Ticking / Slapping Noise Coming From Engine

    I wasn't going to take apart the gaskets, lol. It just made me feel uncomfortable that there is a rivet type deal holding the three gaskets together and the OEM one is just a single thick piece of metal. The fact that there are two rivets holding all three metal pieces together makes me wonder...

    Ticking / Slapping Noise Coming From Engine

    Yea, I got it now. The EGR valve I ordered with everything also came with a gasket. And I'll take pictures of the gaskets. Oh, and the 4 gaskets are also metal. In fact, they're all metal except for the throttle body ones.

    Ticking / Slapping Noise Coming From Engine

    Thanks a bunch on finding out where those gaskets go to! I swear I would have never found it out on my own. Regarding the gasket kit I got though, I'm not sure I feel comfortable with the IM and EGR ones. The IM one is basically three sheets of metal attached to each other via two rivets on...

    Ticking / Slapping Noise Coming From Engine

    I ended up taking my car to a shop yesterday. I don't have an impact gun to take off the timing belt in order to get to the head like I wanted to. Even if I did, I don't have a spot to hook it up to here at my apartment.

    Ticking / Slapping Noise Coming From Engine

    After work yesterday, I went to go inspect how the spark plug ended up sitting in it's socket / chamber and...well...with the help of my dad, I'm going to be taking apart my car's rear head for a rebuild. I'll probably have to buy a new spark plug too, lol.

    Ticking / Slapping Noise Coming From Engine

    Yesterday my dad came over and he helped me out a little bit on this (he's a master mechanic and knows his stuff). He had already known that the spark plug in cylinder #3 had blown up as I had shown him pictures of the spark plug. He thinks, and I'm going to agree with him on this, that when...

    Ticking / Slapping Noise Coming From Engine

    Update: I didn't actually have a chance to get this done on Sunday like I wanted to because my friend who was going to help me had some stuff come up last minute. So, in the mean time, I've been looking up other misc. stuff to replace that needs to get replaced anyways. And I came across THIS...

    Valve Clearance

    I just watched those two videos from ETCG and man, they are a wealth of information! There were a couple small spots that I wasn't aware of that I know I would have gotten wrong if I hadn't watched the videos. Good thing I did!

    Valve Clearance

    Exactly what I thought. The rear valves will have the same orientation as the front valves. So, intake are the ones closest to the IM and exhaust are the ones furthest from IM for both heads. I saw your wording, but the two most critical pictures stating which were intake and exhaust...

    Valve Clearance

    You have this picture, but you don't say which one is the intake and which one is the exhaust. Is it ones closest to the intake manifold that are the intake valves or are those the exhaust valves? I imagine it'll be the same for the other side.

    cool beans. Now, which one is the intake and which one is the exhaust? Or is that in your link that I just didn't see?

    What is the EGR Port's Length?

    I know those other brushes won't do anything. That's why I'm asking what the length of the port is so I can find or jimmy-rig something together to get it taken care of. I'll be taking care of the compression leak tomorrow. I'm thinking of tossing my DC strut bar as well and getting one...

    Ticking / Slapping Noise Coming From Engine

    I'll be doing this tomorrow and hopefully doing the valve job as well. I'm with you on the thinking that this is gas escaping and have also been thinking it was from the spark plug that blew up. It's what I had been thinking of as being the cause of this shortly after taking this video. I'm...

    Valve Clearance

    I was way long gone at that point. But, I picked up what I think will work. Package is still at home unopened. And based on what you're saying there, I'm good! :D Thanks for the info!

    Ticking / Slapping Noise Coming From Engine

    Yea. I used that "antenna magnet" thing to pick up spark plug remnants. I was probing for a good 20min continuously finding little shards of the old spark plug in the chamber. I'm in no doubt I need a valve adjustment. I know I've been needing one already, but I didn't have the time, haven't...

    Ticking / Slapping Noise Coming From Engine

    I haven't fixed anything yet. The pictured spark plug in my OP was from two weeks ago. That spark plug was removed from the rear of the engine on the driver's side. The noise that suddenly started yesterday on my way home from work is coming from that same area. I'm thinking that the when...

    Wouldn't valves be making the noise gradually rather than all of a sudden?

    Ticking / Slapping Noise Coming From Engine

    Why does it sound like escaping gasses though? And why is it only coming from the rear?

    Ticking / Slapping Noise Coming From Engine

    Earlier today on my way home from work, I noticed that there was a ticking / slapping type noise coming from the engine. The odd part about this is that I didn't feel any power loss or anything. It is loudest when I give the car some gas and also when I'm sitting at idle I can hear it. It's...

    What is the EGR Port's Length?

    I've done that, but I don't feel that works very well still. It's like, if I don't see it come out, it's not clean, lol. IDK, I'm OCD, haha.

    What is the EGR Port's Length?

    My car keeps having persistent EGR port related CEL codes and I want to get rid of them. I know that cleaning the port on the intake manifold side is the most common way of taking care of it, and I did that to my car again recently. This time, I want to clean out the EGR port on the engine...
