odd ticking
4.0 I6
Doing my usual maintenance and picked up on a rhythmic tick from the front/passenger side of the engine? Looks like the harmonic balancer might not be running true.. little wobbly but nothing so far off as to be a real problem. Thing is the tick was not repeating fast enough. Too far forward to be the oil pump and too far down to be a cracked plug on #1 (Gong to check that now) but it did seem to come from the front of the engine. Hmm.. Actually the headlights were on.. need to go make sure it wasn't the charging circuit relay. Know it wasn't the AC compressor. :) Actually I wonder if it might be the timing chain? It's not a scraping noise, more of a slap/tick.. which I suppose could be just that. ..oh joy.. :/ Oh well, I'm sure the problem will become apparent in due time. :| It's easier to find the broken part when it's laying in a puddle of oil under the engine. -- -- DougW -- 93 ZJ 4.0 http://revbeergoggles.com HESCO Supercharger - 300W IASCA Stereo - Edelbrock IAS Shocks Gibson Exhaust - rear DCpower - custom gauge install - Stillen Rotors Banks Header - and BEER, in the fridge! |
Re: odd ticking
Hi Doug,
Make sure your serpentine belt's not beginning to fray, as my click, click was shortly before the belt disappeared half way up the mountain from Palm Springs. And I've had a little tiny rock wedge it's self in the belt groves, that made a lot of noise.

Re: odd ticking
I'm with Doug and Bill. Pulling the accessory belt will also rule out
an accessory. If you pull it and the noise goes away, you've narrowed it down a bit. It might be something as simple as a rock that got inside the alternator case. |

Re: odd ticking
I noticed the same on mine .Was sweating for a bit , hmm, a lifter, a
bearing..but I relized it was something so silly. I did the old ear searching for the noise and found it. The item was that vacuum relay for emission just left of the valve cover. It clatters for a while then stops. I noiced from inside.. and sure enough when I hear that noise happened it's that nutty valve.

If it was, let me know. This means I get to advance to the leavel of "Apprentice Guru", with an appropriate increase in pay, of course. I once chased a rattly-ticking nose for months. Turned out to be a tiny rock that managed to get in behind the crank pully on a FWD beater car. Thankfully I pulled it out before it ate the seal. -JD |
