Engine noises caused by injector issues.

What's some of the ones yall have heard of? Just hearsay or whatever.

I'm having some weirdo,coming and going noises in the 82s engine and I have checked nearly everything I know of than just striping it down.

Hardcore rattle... sounds like a ruler slapping a desk randomly (CR are notorious for this one)... Loud ticking/knocking. Tappet sounds...

[ellis93]

Yep all of the above. Idle to like two gs,it will tap.....randomly,not always. Every time you hit 24 or 2500 is real loud. Funny thing is I never noticed the high rpm rattle/knocking till I did the 4k gov springs. The light tapping has been there since a few months ago tho.....least to my memory.

Sounds like it might be simply a timing thing..

18* on the money with the tooling,checked that today for giggle. That every now and again crap has me wanting to fast forward to the 7x10s quicker than I wanted.

If the timing is JUST RIGHT.... I've noticed a 12 valve can sound like it has bad injectors. Mine at certain timing/load sounds like it has leaking injectors. Advance or retard timing, and it goes away.

Wonder if I may have fubar'd the flex plate and that is what the high rpm crap is

Looks like I'll be trying out my injector pop tester this weekend.

When I ballooned my converter and screwed up the flex plate, I could have sworn it was top end noise

[ellis93]

That's good to know Caleb. The converter in there has a billet cover and solid bolt ring and should not be ballooning,it is mine tho. I'll keep this in mind.
