Very worried

[CIVIC EK5]

Sifus,

How come my Silvertop to very loud tepet sound. The damn sound got when the car is idle and get louder as i push da gas paddle.....dont know much abt toyota coz just started...did i buy a "kong" engine.... :( ...

Taxi sound syndrome??

bring to Trial tuning.. kau tim... :lol:

 

[yolk]

20v doesn't run on tappet it runs on under bucket shims. Most of the sound is coming from the VVT pulley .. some from the valve clearance .. the only way to solve it is to change pulley but if change 2nd hand pulley most likely the sound will come back .. so it's either change to brand new pulleys or change to adj pulleys ... but of course change to adj pulleys is cheaper than buy brand new vvt pulley laaaaaaaaaa B) :lol:

yolk,
I dun quite understand bout the cause you said bout the taxi sound syndrome.
Ok, the sound is from bucket shims, valve clearance and oso the vvt pulley. You mentioned bout buying a new vvt pulley. My silvertop engine is quite rather new, engine kosong, inside is gold in color, which might means that is ha only gone thru very few mileage thatn most of the h/c we got in m'sia. So, it menat that the vvt pulley oso rather new. But the sound is still there but of course very much less than my previous silvertop which the block blown away. So, if the pulley is rather new but it still have sounds. If a new vvt pulley installed, will the sound comes back after a few months later?

Btw, heard that it was mentioned b4 that the main reason of the sounds is the octane % in our fuel? What's your opinion?
So, how's ur ride now yolk? Manage to shut out the taxi sound after changing to adj pulley and change the shims already?

Ya ... is sound like disel engine... ke ke ke ke ke ke. same like me too.

this is cause. cheap quality oil use for the engine. nevermind... just add another oil treament will solve the problem.

 

[GT20v]

well,my hcut is around 20000+km only.......thats new for me...inside no gold colour..........pure metal colour..and yet still have this tek..tek..tek..sound...

its from VVT pulley.not shim or whatever u want to called it.

if u install a new VVT pulley,i wont say a couple of month lar..but maybe a year or two the sound will come again.

u shud hear yolk car with trial adj cam pulley..no more sound..a real sleeper.:)

 

[banzai]

for me, i won't add.

adding oil lubricant will not solve it. instead, so much sticky slimy liquid inside your engine will make it more heavier and refuse to work efficiently.

Is this sound happened to all Silvertop? coz I just heard one mechanic said, silvertop will have this problem, while blacktop don't have. Is it true ?

silvertop yup...diesel sound like engine...but can make it quiter by doing shim clearance n like yoga said...change the VVT pulley...TRIAL tuning can help u to solve the problem
