But what do I do once I’ve got the lower intake manifold off, are you talking about replacing the gasket for it? I did take that gasket off when I did the cams

One thing that is weird about it is as soon as you give it any revs the noise goes away, it’s only at idle, not sure if that’s from an increase of pressure making it go away. But yeah I’ll have a look at trying to make a smoke machine soon, or taking it in somewhere. I don’t think it should be a...

Should I get a compression test done first? I’ll have a look now and see if it’s cheap to buy a kit to test it

Yeah I’m not to sure about an exhaust leak as much now because the stethoscope picked up the ticking from the rockers, injectors, heads, pretty much everywhere. But if it’s a compression issue where would it be leaking you reckon? Head gasket maybe? I’ll look into it a bit more and try and get...

The post cat one was loose actually haha don’t know how. May have made the rattle way more audible maybe. It’s still leaking I reckon though but sounds and feels a lot better

So quick update on all this, my boss was able to order a new evap solenoid and oxy sensors, as soon as the put the oxy sensors in the pre cat it ran heaps better, sounds cammed, less rattles, and also somehow that really bad rattle is gone. Don’t know how, also while I was under there I banged...

Hahaha hopefully it’s just a new cat and 02 sensors

I was just thinking maybe swapping around the bad post cat 02 sensors with the good pre cat 02 sensors may have something to do with the car having a different feel, it dosent sound cammed anymore either, alloytec cams are complicated. It still moves the revs slightly on idle like it did before...

yeah I got a tune ages ago when I had the exhaust an a few other things, and then I got another quick cheap tune when I did the cams and timing chain, but I had an exhaust leak when that tune got done, it was just a tune to make the car drivable, and the bloke who did it has never done a cammed...

Yes there black ops performance cats and headers

Nah there’s about 10 of us, and they don’t want money there happy to help but it’s just about finding the right time because we’re always busy. I’ll ask them on Friday arvo, and see if I can maybe get it on the hoist

Yeah that’s the plan I had in my head, when I had them pulled off on Sunday there wasn’t anything that stood out, but I didn’t check them properly either. Just didn’t cross my mind, it almost sounds like it’s at the resonator, so maybe bits of the cat fell in there.

I’m not asking for an answer of what it is for sure, just an idea of what you think it could be, and if it sounds like a blown cat.

Yeah 100% bro that’s why I’m tryna see what people reckon it could be, I’m not gonna replace it if someone says it’s something else it just gives me an idea, but yeah I’ll get some new 02 sensors and evap solenoid and maybe hoses too because there cracked a fair bit

I will when he isn’t busy. but that’s why i put a video up so it helps a little bit more, just looking for opinions on what it is bro that’s all.
