i would guess a vacuum leak

LOL Doh is right. At least the accident was avoided I just find this situation so odd that it took so damn long to come about...i mean 2 months? and no signs until this past week right after i mess with the timing a bit? I mean i took this car out snow drifting a couple times after the low...

figures....my standard only goes up to 11/16 lol

i'd do it right now but i don't have a 19mm....i have a gap from 16mm to 21mm :(

i don't find the situation very funny :3d_frown:

define loose, like able to turn by hand? I mean the crank bolt takes 200ft-lbs of torque so loose is all relative

manual

yeah, sorry SQ kinda sucks buts its all i could do. When i removed a plug, the knock actually got a little louder probably b/c of the idle speed slowing down so its easier to pick out? if i can get a hand on a stethoscope i will do....i just don't have a metal rod handy that would be long...

i just can't win.......now im throwing code 12 sothe car won't start edit: nvm...fixed it along with my high idle i've had since the rebuild

LMAO, wow......

way old news...

Well removing spark plugs didn't make any difference actually. I took a couple vids. This was taken after engine was running about 5 minutes, coolant temps didnt even hit 120 yet. Its steady here. I find the knock to be loudest towards the head actually, but i havnt been able to get...

well im heading out today to try to target the problem. someone suggested to simply remove the sparkplugs one by one and listen for the knock to quiet down significantly......makes sense to me, anyone ever try this method?

Well if you think about it, there is still space between teh cylander and the wall or the piston couldn' t move so air getting by. Then multiply that space times 6 on a boost test, and leave the air in there long enough to seep and it isnt the end of the world if it gets by

from what i understand its the shaft as the weak point

lol i can make 330+ on a tune and my stock CT at 12PSI.....wish i didn't develop rod knock as of today though to prove it :cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry: BTW, stick with 57GT trim.....hands down....

not to bust on your kill here but its my understanding the newer RX-8's are slugs...i could be wrong though

it happens....i deal with it all the time....then a guy ran his mouth about his modded c5 'vette he had....well, he had a big head till i ran dead even with him from a dig on an untuned 7m with stock ct pushing only about 11~12PSI and terrible timing
