Clacking noise under Ty

[primemover]

Everyone tells me I'm worried about nothing but I decided to try and get some audio on a diesel engine style clacking I hear under my ty when its idling. I did take this with my cell phone and the audio compression kinda sucks. Plus the wind was whipping pretty good so that made things even worse. The "clacking" sounds much worse on the recording than it does it real life. Oil pressure is good as well. I did try adding some motor honey to see if the "clacking" got quieter but it didn't. Also I checked my down pipe bolt to the tranny as Ive read on here it can cause this but it's tight. heres the vid from my cell phone..

Really hard to tell from that video. Does it sound like its coming from the oil pan, transmission, exhaust? Does it go away once the engine warms up? I had a really horrid banging/knocking sound come from my S15, turns out the torque converter bolts were backing out and hitting the cover. Put it on some jack stands, start it up and have a listen.

It does it when its warmed up too. It sounds like its coming from the crankcase but Im not sure. I read in a post on here somewhere to pull one plug wire at a time and see if the noise quiets down and then you know its the motor but I did that and the noise stayed the same for each wire I unplugged.

Also I ran it with no belt and the noise was there.

Secondly no metal in the oil filter.

hey is it a bad idea to keep that motor honey in there till my next oil change? I just changed my oil with royal purple and that stuff aint cheap? i do notice my oil press a lil higher with that stuff in there too.

how can i test my cat?

Oh yea..idk if this is relevant info but I did an upper intake cleaning saturday and I never got any smoke out the motor. It stunk a little bit but never any cloud of smoke... Just change my pluggs over after that and they looked normal.

tc to flex plate bolts are tight. It def sounds like its coming from the tc flex plate area though. I put my ear on the crank case with it running..doesnt sound like its coming from in there.

Re: Clacking noise under Ty

Well I solved my clacking noise.

I did the IC heater hose mod yesterday and while I was doing that I decided to install two new PCV valves and clean the throttle plates. Well when I finally got everything back together and started it up there was no clacking sound. I took it on a test drive for about 30 miles and still no clacking sound.

I'm guessing the PCV valves were causing this sound somehow. Anybody have any ideas?

Wondering if you ever resolved this? I can't hear anything in the vid. Is the clicking coming from the engine compartment area? Lifter, fuel inj clicking open and closed? Maybe even a heat shield around your exhaust depending on what brand and who installed it.....:2cents:
