rattle in valvecover??
 

so basically, when i start my car, it rattles from within the valve cover, and its kind of late and i cant really work on it, so does anyone have any ideas what this could be? it almost sounds like there is something loose just getting knocked around. wtf.?

YEAH NUKKA!!!! u got the car
Hey check to see if its the timing chain. I know most of the guys on here just remove the top timing chain guide. Perhaps that would help (?)
Congrats broseff

yea, thats what my dad suggested, timing chain rattling. (hes 6 hours away, at work)

yea my chain was hittin the top guide so i took it off and it stopped

aight, ill do that tomorrow. after school. and after baseball practice.. damn.

ha thats probly goin to feel like the longest day of your life lol

actually bro its the upper and lower guide. i order to get the lower guide. you must remove the distributer and take the front cover off.

Ha well either way its the timing chain and on of her 3 guides hahaha

so just take the top guide off completely?

take the top guide and the side guide off, the one where the distributor is at. that should stop the noise. youd know if it was your lower guides so im pretty sure you wont have to go through that.

that was recall by nissan an should be taken off. both have broken before

ah alright, thanks guys. i just got her and drive and its rattling and i was like wtf... so its nothing major. woot. now i just wnat to get home, and fix her. then we can go driving.

yo Randy Savage, whats the mileage on her again?

222k. woot. a **** ton for a 95. but anyways, i got the probelm taken care of, after about an hour... (im not a mechanic, im 15.) and i also need a new valve gasket, both the inner and the outer. but yea, like you guys said, the top chain guide was broken off, and rattling. (just happened yesterday, on the drive home) and its runnin fine now. thanks guys.

cool good to see you got gl with it bro :thumb:

awesome bro. 222k and running strong!!!!
15 y/o and pimping in an S14, now thats fly

i tought him how to do it lol, i had mine when i was 15.

its tru, jordan got me hooked on the s'chassis

be careful, he might get you hooked on the Asian pr0n also. Then its all down hill from there.

asian porn ftw

o god... you're right...

LMAO

real porn or anime

real porn.

yes real pr0n i dont do that hentai stuff

hha. so anyways, today, went lookin for a valve cover gasket... and not a single shop in town has one in stock... so i got one ordered, she'll be here tomorrow...

lol they have shops in birchwood? or did you go to ricelake.
man i hope theres some type of store that carries **** like autozone does lol.

Yeah this guy treats himself to nothing but the best. His pr0n collection is the best in Bossier. And soon to be WI.

haha. well, i went to ricer lake, they have an advanced, a bumper to bumper, a carquest, and a napa, but all of them are tiny, and andvance ordered me a gasket, and should be here today, so 1 day shipping ftw.?

yes 1 day shipping saves me at advanced lol.

so is there any junk yards in rice lake? if not how many is eau claire?
i live for junkyards!

Is there rice in the lake?

bro those thick rubber gaskets are re-usable. just inspect it from cracks and rips. Make sure that you apply your choice of high temp RVT to the front and rear sections (base) befor you seat the gasket, if you dont, oil will leak out. and also remember your bolt pattern ill post pics i made for you

(note) thats a Front-Wheel(FF) drive KA

this is what i have been doing for years. hand tighten first then just tighten in using (average)girlie's strength.

yea, my gasket was broken in like 10 places and hard as a rock. not so reusable.

HA HA HA yea you need another one lol

yea. i took the valve cover off to take off the timing chain, and both the inner and outer ones were rock hard and like shattered. so im slapping the new one in after school.

haha, she's purrin now.

cool cool coooool

sweet you got it fixed, damn nissans with their chains and guides lol

222k and runnin strong. woot. i have a little bit of a rattling problem from my rear end, and its not the muffler, thats my next issue. then imma see why my running lights arent working, but the brake lights are..? (my tail running lights)

at least your strobe light and neons work

haha... yea. does anyone know why my rear running lights dont go on? is it a fuse? (if so which one... lol)

Jordan knows but he is too busy watching teh pr0n
but yeah you might wanna check the fuse, they tend to blow from time to time. Or perhaps a relay
