3000 GT ?'s

Hello,

I have a question on a 91 VR-4 that I have. It was stored out side last winter, and when I started it this spring it soulds like a diesel. The sound does do away when throttle is applied. The sound is coming from the Driver side near the front bank of the cylinders, but cant pin point for sure.

I was wondering if anyone has ran into this on there 3s? Thinking it might be a balance shaft or someing internal like that? Or could it be a bad tensioner bearing?

Are you talking about lifter tick? That's just the motor not top-oiling. I really hope you are using some good oil, but i doubt it.

BTW, there are no BS shafts.

It isn't lifter tick. Much more serious than that. It honestly sounds like a rattle trap till the throttle is hit.

Sorry I didn't know they were balance shaft less. Just makes one less thing to worry about.

I would have to hear it...this game is pretty hard to play over the web.

How come you are on the dsm forums? haha. Have you checked out mn3s.org?

Sounds like a lifter if it is the top of the motor.
If it is the "Middle" or bottom of the motor, it could be a rod bearing.

I agree with niterydr...Is the oil level ok? How long have you let it run for? Changed the oil yet?

And this is a fine place to ask, there are plenty of 3/S owners here.

Yea, I know, but it looked like he's never been on the 3/s site. I have a 3/s myself too.
