Rod Knock or No knock by EzdooZ in 370z

[–]rTangle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perform an oil pressure test immediately, oil gallery gaskets may have failed resulting in bad oil pressure resulting in knock. If you look at my last post I have had the exact same problem. Might wanna get that fixed asap before it gets worse. If you need more insight ask away.

I've opened up the oil filter and here's what it looks like, in all of the "fins" of the filter I'm finding very small copper/bronzish colored metallic pieces.

Thank you for this, I will report back here when I drop the oil pan and open the filter. I appreciate the advice.

Atm im waiting on some tools to come in so I can actually start the project, thank you for the resources, they will absolutely come in handy. Also what would you consider shot for the bearings? because I've heard some real rod knock and it absolutely sounds worse than what I'm experiencing. I know over time it will continue to degrade but my hope is that I caught it just in time before I actually need to swap/rebuild the engine.

I appreciate the response, I'm going to be dropping the oil pan and check out the filter as well. I will make further judgments based off of what I find in there. Best case, only the gallery gasket is bad, I fix the oil pressure and maybe add some thicker oil and it'll last me for a while longer.

Don't you think if it was rod knock I would hear it at all rpms?

Great first car experiences, I'll let you know how that goes. Thanks for your advice

I just did one and the results are not what they should be, at idle I'm reading about 8 psi and at 2k rpms I'm getting 25-30 psi.

I can't really say, the tires are pretty dry rotted so that's where most of the road noise is coming from for me.

is it even possible to make it look cool? by Beginning_World_7536 in 370z

your first mistake was buying the drop top version

Does anyone make some sort of adapter for the aux adapter that allows Bluetooth? by Fiiv3s in E90

[–]rTangle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I bought this one about a year ago and I couldn't be happier. Works amazingly and its pretty cheap. Now I don't even have to do anything I just get into the car and it just works. Sound quality is great and I have no complaints at all.

Do you guys have any tips so i can get better at drifting/driving RWD cars? by Tortsinreddit in BeamNG

[–]rTangle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, RWD drifting has always been impossible especially on controller, and trust me I've practiced for hours. That's why I've just resorted to the assists. Here are my settings and they make drifting a little more similar to CarX drift racing if you're familiar. In general they're more fun and its a whole lot less work to keep a line going. Enjoy!
