clattery noise at front end of my engine
1986 CJ7 4 cylinder (150K miles but engine was rebuilt at 90K) I was
hoping it might be the fan......took it off. Still clattering . Maybe the alternator or power steering pump.......took them off. Still clattering OK it must be the timing chain. Opened it up and the chain is pretty sloppy and it has a chain tensioner device that's not even shown in my Haynes manual. I will replace these parts next weekend. Hopefully that will do the trick.......... |

Re: clattery noise at front end of my engine
Amen to that one -
happened on my wife's explorer........... Was really loud- never expected a harmonic balancer to clack-clack that loud. placed a screw driver between my ear & every other part of that engine. By the time I found it the hole in the crank was stripped. I was going to heli-coil it. Everyone said it wouldn't work, but I figured I had nothing to lose. I had put a lot of other heli-coils in a lot of other places in B-52's, F-4's,F100's, SR71's, etc.......couldn't quite get the right angle or leverage & broke the tap in the hole. Had to pull the engine half out to get the tap out so I did the long block thing. -- Carlo F.
