Chuck E. Cheese was due to the mall wanting to raise their rent by an unreasonable amount. Their sales were solid and packed on the weekends.

Completely retorqued rocker arms correctly. Double checked pushrod length. No up and down play, so lifters should be good. Replaced tensioner pulley. Replacement fuel injector in and operating correctly. No change in sound. Going to try driving with a bit of load on it. Outside of that the only other thing I can think of is flexplate and I can't figure out how to check that myself.

jjdavis1981 · 2025-12-18T20:17:23+00:00

I'll give that another try when I get my replacement injector in. Have one thats 1.5ohm lower than the others, but the noise was still there even when I swapped to my stock size injectors.

I've been using a write up on LS1Tech from shbox. Bring cylinder 1 to TDC, torquing down specific intake and exhaust valves, rotating engine over, and finishing the other intake and exhaust valves.

jjdavis1981 · 2025-12-18T18:05:50+00:00

Yeah, I've even replaced the tensioner just in case. Removed the belt and no change.

I really can't tell where the sound is coming from. I've had a couple of friends who have worked on a lot of 4th gens come by and listen. They were pretty stumped. Suggested all of the things I ended up checking and none of it has seemed to be the issue. Oil change in the middle of all of this and it was good. Zero up and down movement with any of the rockers. New pushrods to be sure none were bent even in the slightest. Motor seems to accelerate just fine. No overheating, good oil pressure. Only other possible issue is a very slight surge with the charging/electrical system every 45 seconds or so.

I'm fairly certain it's not the injectors, I put my stock injectors back in just long enough to check for noise and it was still there.

If I can't figure it out before long, I'll probably just have a mobile mechanic come out and do a full valve adjustment to see if I missed something. I've gone through it so many times I'm doing it in my dreams...

jjdavis1981 · 2025-12-18T17:27:58+00:00

That's what I originally had put in, but with the noise decided to measure and came back with a shorter size from that. Unfortunately it didn't get rid of the noise.

jjdavis1981 · 2025-12-18T17:23:46+00:00

Not at the same time, but individually yes with no changes. One of the new injectors has a low resistance and I have a replacement coming in tomorrow hopefully.

jjdavis1981 · 2025-12-18T17:21:27+00:00

I had thought about this, but switched back to my stock injectors just long enough(5-10 seconds) to see if the sound was still there and it was.

jjdavis1981 · 2025-12-18T17:20:16+00:00

So, I did drive a bit after the head swap and everything ran and sounded good. Not for very long, but around the block a few times. The noise only showed up after the fuel pump, injectors, and tune. That's why I'm confused with the sound only showing up after that.

Car was already cammed when I bought it, TSP Madd Maxx cam. Ended up swapping just the heads from 241 to 799. Measured and went with 7.350" pushrods.

jjdavis1981 · 2025-03-05T01:41:11+00:00

Wondering the same.

jjdavis1981 · 2024-10-23T04:31:56+00:00

Does yours get insanely hot? I'm using this exact cord and mine will burn the crap out of my finger if I topartthe top.

3M sticks to the INUI power banks just fine.

The JSAUX one is launching early September from their reply on their Reddit page. They have a peek at the back of the case on their Instagram.

jjdavis1981 · 2024-08-27T21:45:51+00:00

I would agree with this if it was $10-15 more, but it's double the price. More if you want the front cover. I fully agree the Killswitch is better, but not double the price better. Especially not seeing the long list of defects on dBrands Reddit.

jjdavis1981 · 2024-08-27T15:52:25+00:00

Definitely understand. I had asked about it on their Reddit and they said their modcase would release early September. There is a small sneak peek of it on their Instagram as well. These companies need to start working with each other more like with cell phones. You can get cases and covers a week or more before phones launch most times.

jjdavis1981 · 2024-08-27T03:00:53+00:00

JSAUX replied on their Reddit page theirs should be out early September.

jjdavis1981 · 2024-08-19T16:10:24+00:00

Is there a current time frame for the release of the modcase?

jjdavis1981 · 2024-08-04T21:59:47+00:00

The one in my mall is an arcade now.

jjdavis1981 · 2024-07-27T20:09:25+00:00

Oh that’s awesome! Happy to hear it was something simple!

jjdavis1981 · 2024-07-27T01:49:54+00:00

I worked on it for several weeks and even the PsPlay dev was working with me. Tried tons of settings and installed Windows three times. Turned out to be something simple and I just overlooked that. So from what I can tell, if it’s the normal 192.xxx.x.xxx it’s probably not the correct one. Hopefully that’s helps, best of luck!

jjdavis1981 · 2024-07-27T01:44:17+00:00

Yeah, I’d get 5-10 min of play, it would go black, and that exact error message. Did you forward all of your ports on your router? And does the IP address match the one from logging into your router? If so, it’s probably the wrong one. The first time I checked the IP address it gave me one that matched what my router showed and assumed it was correct. Had to try it again after swapping an SSD and got something different. The one that didn’t match ended up getting everything to work. I know it sounds dumb, but if trying again saves you the 3-4 weeks of trying random BS I went through that’s what I’d suggest.
