OK i was driving around the other night and i raced my buddy. As i slowed down i looked and i saw my engine was running real hot. i pulled over to check everything and then started to here a clicking noise. i just changed the oil ( w/ synthetic) and fixed my intercooler. Im now drivning it no bc i dont wanna mess it up anymore but i am trying to get a better look at whats going on. as i rev it starts to click faster. I kinda think its a rocker arm any other ideas what it could be. Also if it is a rocker arm can i use internal parts from a N/A. if you can help me out that would be awesome.

 

rod knock?

 

im not sure but its def. internal and im sure its not a piston. Is there anything i can ddo infront of my house tto try and narrow down the problem so i dont have to pay a a crap load of money for someone else to do.

 

you have to determine if it is coming from the head or the block. Head; probably need to adjust your valves. Block; might be time for a rebuild.

 

dang i really hope its not a rebuild. It does seem to be close to the head. i mean all i do is put my head but the engine and have someone rev it a lil and its like right there.

 

also could i screw up the valves by racing and it happen just liek that

 

more than likely its in the block i hate to tell you if it was running hot. anything is due to happen when your motor running hotter than suppose to. expecially while forcing hot ass air into the intake mani.
you need to pin point where its coming from the head or block. you said you were racing you could of floated some valves (hopefully) or need to readjust valve clearences. Could be anything from a broken retainer to a guide bouncin around. to a slipped bearing going out. my advice is don't drive until you know what it is.
where you located at ?? if your in NOVA i'll take a look at it for you.

Pull your valva cover off and take a look at your rockers, make sure they are all in place still. ANd do a valve adjustment while you have the valve cover off.

 

Also, check your radiator to see the fluid level. Could have blown a head gasket.

 

your bearing are going bad. that the same thing that happen to my d16y8. as long as you dont rev it high then you should be able to drive it around for a min to get by until you can fix it. how many mile on te engine?
