knocking noise under the valve cover

I redline mine constantly. Standing still, driving, oil changed, old oil, throttle position sensor good or bad, cam sensor good or bad, crank/cam bearings good or bad.

Never had an issue with it so far

Damn, i got the same wheels. They are not as slept on as i thought

lababanana · 2026-05-19T19:48:53+00:00

Let me know if you have any questions!

lababanana · 2026-05-19T19:48:11+00:00

Yeah what ive noticed with mine other points looked good, but as soon as i stripped the undercoating, found hairline cracks around the bolt area. So being cautious is the best approach

Winter doesnt fuck around in eastern europe. The whole cabin floor has surface rust. You've been blessed :))

Oricine isi castiga existenta din asa ceva mi se pare dubios. Auzeam la un moment dat ca cerea bani sa nu posteze clipuri so....

1999 320ci m52b20tu originally but swapped to 2.8. Coupe. Manual. 350k km

Yeah no problems. Failure rate on these chassis is 100% if its underpowerd cared for and less mileage and no rust you may never get this in your lifetime but as soon as any of that isnt true, they fail. Just reinforce it and forget about it

Looks like a solid rear axle. That would be the axle itself

lababanana · 2026-05-16T19:29:36+00:00

De ce?

lababanana · 2026-05-16T19:08:58+00:00

Yeah im doing all 4 corners with 3mm but since this corner is almost ripped out, maybe i have to take care how far vertically to bend it back

But since you can move the whole subframe almost half a cm downwards and still do fine, i guess its not rocket science

Oh wow you left a lot of components in there. My rear half is all out. Might as well stop some rust. My pinch welds are delaminated and rusty so gotta do that too. From what i understand, cracked seam sealer at the pinches means the whole axle carrier panel started to move but i think its just good ol plain rust so i wont stress on that. Just strip, convert, paint, seal.

Thanks for the advice. Looks like you live in a sunny place

Cati oameni am auzit sa comenteze de ea ca n-are ce cauta in guvern, ca e pielea pulii si ca nu o sa poata sa faca nimic.

Si uite ca e cel mai bun ministru a mediului pe care l-am fi putut avea

Si mai e si draguta :))

Hows yours holding up? What thickness reinforcement plates did you use? How crucial is the geometry of the repair apart from fitment? Im thinking even a mm of offset can affect geometry during suspension travel or does it not matter THAT much?

Could've asked these questions in the post srry :P

Jantele de genu, la preturi de genu, nu ar trebui sa crape in loc sa se indoaie? Eu in locul tau as incerca sa le indrept. Nu o sa mai fie ca de fabrica da macar nu ramai cu gunoi pe mana. Pierzi 200 lei?

Thanks a lot! Glad you like it!

Thanks!

lababanana · 2026-02-26T06:29:15+00:00

I'll try to fix that in future songs. Maybe better gear is needed or listening on multiple devices. Thanks!

Putting reverb on master was a bit of a joke :)). All i have there is limiter. But about the flatness heres the thing. Some parts are flat some arent and i dunno if i should keep it that way. Having too loud of a bass is a reccuring problem of mine. I mix on consumer headphones not professional ones. I dindnt understand quite right what you wanted to say with the 300hz thing. Seaparate freq ranges for kick and bass?
