just installed my torquer v.2 cam over the weekend was fine for a day at idle and even took it for a spin then it started having a pretty loud tick loud enough i could here it inside the car with the car running any ideas

KevinR

Did you change the pushrods? You may have bent one if you didn't.

fordkiller09

yes i did i used comp 7.425 rods, prc dual springs i didnt knock at first but when it started too it got loud and it doesnt seem to be doing it so much now kinda just has the sewing machine sound i just checked to see if all the rockers were tight and they seem to be and also the check engine light is flashing but sometimes its solid and i dont have a code reader to read it

fordkiller09

its also not tuned yet not even a baseline tune

KevinR

Then don't drive it. The flashing SES light is a misfire. You need to get it tuned.

KevinR

When you "took it for a spin" you didn't jump on it, did you?

fordkiller09

ahhhhh that was kinda my worry cause i read on here after i took it for a spin that everyone says not too which i should have known and i kinda got on it a little stupid me but i babied it almost the whole time i drove it which wasnt alot like out of the neighborhood and back

fordkiller09

ok so i kinda chased down where the knock was coming from and it is close to the back of the block by the fly wheel could a fucked up fly wheel cause a really loud knock, im wondering if i messed it up by two footing it and giving it a little gas putting it in to gear

bump..

KevinR

Not good


Yes, the fly wheel can cause a tapping/knocking sound if it's cracked. Get you a stethoscope and see if you can pinpoint where it's coming from, and go from there.

since i just did the cam install i figured the knock would be a loose rocker or fucked up rod but ive went back over all that and its all fine i cant figure out where its coming from but i got under it today with the car running and it deff sounds like its at the back bottom end of the block u can put your hand up on the block by the fly wheel and feel the knock and its pretty loud around that area, i took the little tin plate off on the housing and spun the fly wheel and from what i could see didnt appear to be any cracks really hope its not bottom end internal

Hello , if it is bottom end rod bearing You would most likely be able to hear/feel it turning the flexplate/flywheel by hand . 1 revolution turn it a cpl inches and push it the other direction maybe a half inch , then a cpl more inches then the other a little and so on for 1 revolution . It will take You 5 or 10 min. but will confirm or rule out bottom end . Good luck .

Check to see if your trans converter bolts are tight. I have seen the bolts bottomed out into converter or lose causing knock. good luck.

so me and a buddy kinda have a theory dont know if its stupid or not but it kinda seems to be working, so after thinking lastnight that the knocking didnt start till a day after the cam install and after i drove it a little without a tune the computer doesnt know what the **** its doing and started to try and adjust its self and learn, with the new cam thought maybe the computer was reading it was running to rich tried to adjust and lean it out so much that the motor would start knocking idk its an idea but i unhooked the battery left it off over night for the computer to reset started it this morning and i dont hear the knock like before idk what do yall think is this possible or am i just stupid

fordkiller09

yea i spun it around and checked all the bolts cause that happened to a buddy of mine but they all seem fine

May have been a vacuum leak, or exhaust leak. Flashing SES means there's a misfire, is it still flashing? If it was me, I wouldn't run it anymore till it's tuned.
