any ideas? cuz i'm out of them.
i have a noise coming out of cyl 3 when motor is running. proportionate to engine rpm. i thought it was valve prob like a lifter or a rocker, so i ended up pulling rockerArmStopper(s) off to no avail. rocker looks good, shims in place, and lifter doesn't seem dead...
here is the odd part. noise goes away when i pull #3 coil... i gotta pull a compression test next time i get a chance, but car is in storage and only have a couple hours a week to work on it so i was trying to put together a list and prioritize my attack.
tidbits to know.
car was sitting for about 2 years having run about 1 tank of gas in those 2 years.
car was running well before noise came out last time i took it out.
car idles perfectly
car isn't really spitting smoke(other than being slightly rich and a little oil from old t3/t4)
power is ok, except i think it was a little weak when i took it out last, but it was smoothe.
ti retainers, tomei cams, new valves, tomei springs, took out the RAS. s13 sr20.
any ideas other than a religious rotating asym?
thanks for help
cheers
