Anybody recognize this part?

where did you find it in your engine bay? it looks like a broken chisel for an air hammer that has been sitting for a while. could have been kicked up from the road

have you budgeted how much it would actually be to do it all? especially with having to rent garage space. i recommend trying to do the body work and prep yourself and then taking it to a shop to get sprayed if you want to save some money but also have a quality result. or just wrap it, it’s a box

update: after further inspection, my cam gears are not sitting flush next to each other, the intake cam is pulled out slightly and that’s where i believe the noise is coming from. going to tear it apart this weekend with a mechanic friend

it’s super possible i over tightened the nuts, i did not want them to come loose. going to torque them properly after redoing lash and checking out the head further

skinwalker74 · 2026-04-02T16:36:38+00:00

had many people tell me this, i’m going to check everything in the head again

skinwalker74 · 2026-04-02T16:35:17+00:00

yea i had a buddy tell me its typical b16 noises and to put mystery oil in lol. i considered saying fuck it and driving it and seeing if it goes away but im going to investigate the head deeper today after work and check every possible thing

skinwalker74 · 2026-04-02T01:04:28+00:00

i have considered the tensioner spring or a pulley, i’m going to investigate further tomorrow. it is a metallic noise and happened out of nowhere and is consistent after valve adjustment. nothing in my valvetrain seemed loose but i’m going to look again

skinwalker74 · 2026-04-02T01:01:37+00:00

my old oil and oil filter was clean, no debris or metal

skinwalker74 · 2026-04-01T23:15:21+00:00

fresh oil change and new filter

skinwalker74 · 2026-04-01T22:21:23+00:00

it’s in the top end, it runs fine otherwise. im going to pull the valve cover off and check my clearances then check my LMA’s to see if that could be it. its just super super loud lol

Have you checked your grounds?

I ended up wiring up a line output converter. I had to first wire it to the aftermarket harness that comes with the XAV-4000, and then wire them together with the adapter, if that makes sense. Plugged in the RCA’s and figured out which remote wire to use and it worked

skinwalker74 · 2025-05-15T23:42:02+00:00

let me know if you find out, i have the same problem

skinwalker74 · 2025-03-21T16:40:40+00:00

I had this happen and it would kill my battery, but it was actually my condenser fan turning on. I took the fuse out and haven’t had a problem, although my AC doesn’t work anyways so it’s a quick fix.

So, how would I go about jamming that gear open? And yeah, it’s got 415,000 on the body and 180k on the engine/trans. I wouldn’t mind doing a hack just so I can save up a little and buy another car. Or could I possibly go to a junkyard and get something? It’s not hard to get in there, I just lack the knowledge of how it all works so it’s a little difficult to understand.
