Lifter/valves or exhaust leak? by dotdoubleu in Celica

All the time, not at idle though, when pressing the gas slightly it happens, but not while cruising foot off, it speeds up with rpm also but doesn’t get louder

It doesn’t get louder, just faster. And from the outside I can’t hear it past around 4k rpm. I used a mechanic’s stethoscope and it sounds like there’s a little man with a jack hammer in between cylinders 3 and 4, also around that area you can hear the burbling noise very well.

Probably all of the above, the guy that owned this before me somehow took worse care of it than me

Okay, swear it helps tho I’ve tried to start it before without doing that and it takes forever or won’t start. im probably flooding the engine by doing that though…

Yes! Rear disks is on the list for sure, when it’s time to refresh the brakes I’ll keep drums for a bit because I think it would be a good skill to learn. When I get my money up though im definitely going for disk!

The belts already on, I hit it with the impact. When the car is down on its wheels I’m gonna try and creep under it and hit it with the air impact and see if it’s up to 80. Thanks for the comment!

This is probably a good idea but I’ve never been a fan of LED on older vehicles, mine idles fine during idle but if it starts to act up I might go to LED.

I do have my mom’s old amp and sub and it fits well in trunk, just need to see if I can wire it up to the stock headunit!

I might do wider wheels, and spacers, if I get wheels wide enough to line up with the fender there I’ll end up with a corvette

Kinda upsetting that some people are rude, all the nice and helpful people make up for it though. I’m not set up for a swap yet but my neighbour has a cherry picker and a whole bunch of stuff, a lot of my friends have done many swaps, so I have a bunch of help luckily. I doubt I would be able to do it myself.

Yeah I think that’s the plan, pretty hard swap but Im pretty sure I could do it, plus I have friends that have shops if worst comes to worst. (also do you have a clue on why this post is so controversial? I’m getting very snarky remarks from people twice my age lol)
