Warm Idle with Cats fitted 383ci LS1
I was running with no cats on this 383ci LS1 running a BTR IV cam. decided to fit cats back on. it's dampened the sound and at 2k rpm it sounds nice, not like a Gatling gun it did before. Those are high flow cats that came with the Dynatec LT headers. Happy with the improvement. May have lost 1-2hp out of the 540.

Doing some work on the exhaust, removing the straight pipes to re-fit that cats. Dynatec LTs innto a Corsa cat back. Engine is the original LS1 block, bored and stroked to make 383ci (6.2l) using a BTR IV cam and some other bolts one.

Bad engine noise 383ci LS1

Disconnected the coil packs so not to start it. The engine turns over with an awful bang. Zero oil pressure too. Perhaps pump gone bad. Will need to remove the pump to see what is happening.

Made some tweaks to see spark and rpm. Aiming to get around 14.6AFR. it's pretty much there.
Slowly turning the LS1 and checking rockers

Wanted to check all lifters/rockers move a similar amount. Push rods I know are good. After rewatching the video I think we are good. One cylinder is blacker than the others so my aim was to see if there was mechanical issues. it's probably old oil/carbon from before I changed the valve stem steals.

Running for some time at 99% GPU load, Thermals are looking great. Fans can go up to 2600rpm, so plenty of cooling left. Only one GPU being used during gaming. Connected using the NVIDIA bridge for other applications other than gaming.

Crazy to think that at 6000 rpm, that thing is making a revolution 100 times per second.
Whoa!
Actually a sick video, keep it up 👍🏼
Alternator
Good thought. I haver taken off the drive belt. Rotating the alternator manually, its feels good, same for the power steering and water pump. Then rotated the engine manually, very free turning and no noise. so fired it up on the starter(no spark plugs, no injectors plugged in) no banging noise. Problem seems to have gone, further investigation required.
cooked
Quite possibly. Today turned the engine over by hand with the spark plugs removed. Nothing appears to be catching. However if the oil pump really had failed, then its likely every moving part will have issues. It was fine when I got back after a drive on sunday, it was only the next day the noise sounded on start up. :(
fucking scary ... well i hope you find itand fix it
Found a fix and it wasn't in the engine. The starter motor housing sheered right down between the two bolt holes. So effectibly the starter was bouncing off the flywheel teeth causing the knocking. Luckily the flywheel survived. New starter fitted.
hope you figure it out man, good luck
Yes, very concerning. Engine rebuild 4 years ago. Bored out to put in a 383ci stroker kit. Car sounds awsome on Idle and a Nascar on the freeway. Seeing no oil pressure when cranking, this is scary. Every bearing, and camshaft lobe on the rollers lifters could be shot. I have car shows in a couple of weeks. Thanks for the good luck wish. I think I will need it.
@@TransAmDan28 you sure need it ! otherwise great job on recording the vids, the noise is ez to ear xD
Well spotted nice video keep a lookout you might see it again someday 👍😁
Hello XD
'Promosm' 🤘
Ur test was way too long for having no fuel. It needs fuel to keep the motor cool and pump lubricated and dampened. New pump not the end of the world but an old one might not take that abuse.
Bruh... the truth is strong with this one.
yup
I have the same problem as you solved it ????
Didn't solve it. I fitted and new guage and sensor. I keptp the old one, I may open it up and see if its something fixable.
@@TransAmDan28same problem but solved. It is a short in the wiring after the jack. The wiring loom came loose just rewound it back tight. This is just at the back of the gauge. Hope this helps.
So u know that noise was and so how did u fixed it
Wasn't good. I rocker broke, and it was the pushrod passing the rocker hitting the rocker cover. Trouble is metal then made it way to the sump, so it was a complete engine strip down to fix it. The block was okay, added a 383 stroker kit. So it was a good excuse for more CC's.
Solution?
What was it
Hydraulic lifter has failed, the roller had stopped going around. Giving he same effect as a bent push rod. However it as wearing on the cam lobe. I was hoping freshening up the top end would fix the issues, but on dismantling and found the lifter with half a wheel on it. We knew it was bad, metal particles in the sump, main bearings has score marks. Engine was completely stripped down and I put in a 383ci stroker kit in it.
Makes perfect sense!
Clutch was done 7k miles ago on mine. Input shaft was clean. Then one day I get in it. And boom I hear this noise. Like a roar when you press the clutch in and put it in gear. Noise won’t go away until you let off the clutch in or out of gear lol. And when you try to clutch drop it The car starts moving with the clutch in lol
How’d you know it was bad I have a video on here. I can put it into gear and there’s a roaring
🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧 Tony Foulds thank you for holding the candle 🕯 for 75 years for those 10 heroes. You are an exceptional humanitarian. The USA salutes you. Great Britain must be beaming with pride tonight. God Bless you sir. ✈️✈️✈️ ✈️ 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧
So touching. We love you, Tony! Thank you for your heroism and R.I.P. to the flight crew of the Mi Amigo (Feb 22, 1944) #USAF #RAF #GreatestGeneration #MiAmigo75
Mi Amigo was part of the 305th Bombardment Group, based at Chelveston. One can visit the graves of three of these crew at the American Cemetery at Madingley, near Cambridge. There is an annual memorial service in Endcliffe Park, Sheffield and later in the day at the nearby St. Augustine's church, on the Sunday closest to the anniversary of the crash.
Thank you. This story has touched my heart.
Fantastic, so emotional...
was shaft itself ok though?
*MAKES SENSE*
Can someone plz explain this to me, I’m too retarded to understand this
😂😂😂 I can’t stop repeating this.
Yes!🤣
I was their
To be honest mate I thought it was a bit to hot but apart from that it was good
I have sparking coming from nearly all of my coils that happens completely randomly theres no consistent sparking happening. The sparking happens to the left of the coil where that metal bar is on the side of the coil. Truck has been missfiring for months and I cant figure out what exactly is causing them to short out
Maybe try new leads and from a different place, and make sure the click all the way on. It was like the boot was too short in my video. Cleaned around the coil pack, and put new leads on, and not seen the arching again.
Dan Potter were any other coils sparking? Nearly all of mine are sparking and it's completely random which ones spark or how often they spark. To the left of each coil it's sparking things driving me insane lol
Aj2no17 it was always that one on mine.
You can ground a test light on battery negative , use a spray bottle to mist the wires and coils . Then run the tip of the test light near the wires and coils . Any leaks should arc through the test light to ground . When you have the spark plugs out , look for cracked porcelain and carbon tracking . Also check the boots for carbon tracking or cracks .
Absolutely ridiculous, seen so many cyclists do this and get away with it
If they get away with it then obviously it is not as dangerous as we think it is. I'm not saying he should jump this red light. But traffic lights were invented for cars. No cars, no traffic lights. Often it doesn't matter for a cyclists whether he waits for green or not. Plenty examples of them getting run over by turning vehicles or hit from behind. I wouldn't be surprised if stopping for green is statistically safer.
Ever figure it out
This was caused by a hydraulic lifter that had collapsed, the roller has stopped going round, worn down to a flat. Crated a lot of metal fragments in the sump. with this metal being shorter, oil was passing through it differently. Causing the pressure fluctuation. The cure to this was a complete rebuild, everything had to be renewed due to the wear caused by the metal in all the oil ways.There may be shortcuts, but I wanted to make sure. A forum thread was created:- www.solent-renegades.co.uk/general-discussion/25510-started-dismantling-trans-am-engine.html
Sounds awesome m8, can't wait to see it in action
The metal beam that goes from the rear end to the transmission via a rubber mount. The rubber had come loose from the transmission, this bar dropped and was rubbing on the drive shaft.
thanks for the video what exactly was the problem my trans am formula is making the same noise.
I think this is what's happening to mine did the lifter sur clip failing ruin your cam?
+mike martin I didn't take the cam out to inspect. The lifters parts stayed intact in this video, the surclip must have been rattling around the pushrod. However a few weeks later on tickover the lifter did overextend and stop the engine. The engine wouldn't crank over. If this had happened when driving it would have caused some damage. Changed all the lifters and checked the push-rods, cleaned up the heads and got it running again, done around 15k miles since the fix and performance seems fine.
+ Dan Potter awesome thank you soo much for the update!! i checked the pushrods and they are fine and straight. might as well put 243 heads on it since theyll be off haha
Junk
Cool cars around there dude. :¬) I've only managed to get to a couple of custom shows down here in Devon, but I did get to view an epic General Lee copy not far from Exeter.
+wordreet Yes, a lot of nice cars around, great to see them coming out at these shows. Over the last 15 years I've taken many photos and popped them on the club website, feel free to browse www.solent-renegades.co.uk/albumall.php.
+wordreet Hey, you don't happen to know someone with a rodded 1938 Chrysler Coupe in the Solent/Brighton sort of area do you? She's called Wild Betty and seems to have original paint and a touch of rust. She had sign written doors, though I didn't manage to read what it was as she went past me in the xmas eve traffic. Some garage or similar. I tailed her for a short while and grabbed details of her rear end. Oooer missus!
Dan Potter If I had some dosh to spare, I'd probably be driving around in a Cortina Estate, preferably with a Jeff Uren engine conversion. ;¬)
Dan Potter Heh, my tastes are somewhat unusual and I'm loving that mad Beetle wit hthe floating engine cover!
Where is this bolt located i have the same problem
+Miki Mouse It was the bolt on the transmission, it holds a clamp with rubber in it. This clamp holds the support to the rear end. It screws in horizontally and difficult to get to.
I have watched this 20 times.....I keep laughing
gtkelly789 same
lmao you saw this on CarThrottle. Git back in there boy!
AE86 of Mt. Akina ayye same
I made another video with the pump off, ua-cam.com/video/gn0FKAnWuyU/v-deo.html certainly a lot of play in it.
Mine just started doing this yesterday!
Andrew Benjamin Good luck with the fix, its pretty simple to whip off the water pump to swap out with a new one.
They spill fuel all over me like this all the time
Shame the cruise is too fast to see anything....!!!!!
Played back at this speed just to demonstrate the route. there weren't many cars that day, and all behind me. The 18th May is the next convoy of american and Classic cars, so i will sit further back in the pack and record it and play back at the correct speed. This video was mainly created for this web page, www.solent-renegades.co.uk/content/21-southsea-cruise, one from last year at the correct speed, Southsea Cruise April 15th 2012
You not found a nice trailer to hook it upto yet Danny....one of those Kit Cat trailers off the TV add would be good. Nick.
Looks and sound nice Danny...what is Renegades Show. Nick.
Renegades Car show it put on by the Solent Renegades car club, we are based around the Poortsmouth area, and organise two annual car shows a year at the Farmhouse Pub, We also do a cruise called the Southsea Cruise monthly (April-October) around old portsmouth, http:wwww.solent-rengades.co.uk
thanks for this video i think thats exactly the sound in my engine
Mine just started doing that any idea what it was?
It was the water pump in the end, ordered a new one from RockAuto. I took the pump off, and you could feel the shaft in the pump had some play in it. That original pump lasted 170k miles, so it had a good life.
