yeah ive thought of that aswell hey datsun kid, just like mike said, try this... its a pretty easy thing to try... First thing in the morning, start the engine up and run it for 15 seconds while you listen carefully and memorize the sound and it's intensity. Shut it down quickly, pull the spark plugs and put two squirts of motor oil into each cylinder, unless you know its #4. Reinstall the plugs, fire the engine up again and listen. If you have piston slap the noise will have been greatly reduced or even eliminated…..for 15 or 20 seconds that is, and then your nightmare noise will come back. if not, im sure a few other people might have some ideas... but my mits 3000gt just had the same issue and it wasnt hard to crack open the bottom end and see i had spun the #6 bearing... it was $9 fix (i spent $54 total just to make sure all the bearings were new), since we had all the tools in our units motor pool to turn the crank and rework the rods/caps

my camper started off as a campertop for an early 90's s10..... it was close.... but i had fiberglass, a sawzall and spare time, so i made it fit better

ROD BEARING FAILURE! how many miles are on the motor? that explains the oil in the cyl, and still haz good comp, and im guessing when you mash the thin pedal, the sound speeds up aswell?

:lol: how much for the 240 in the picture? umm for reals tho, let me call up a buddy i know hes ben looking for a 210 parts car, or just parts in general

sounds like a bolt ina blender? lol love the title btw :rofl:

ok what vehicle, with an 4 speed and a napz?.... that kindof make a bit of diff.... and ...please check the oil... make sure it has some... i say this because my neighbor just started his car up and it made a whirrrrrrrrRrrrrRrrrrRRrring noise.. no oil... but yes the throwout bearing isnt a constant sound... and i know on my l20 my motor would grind time from time because the starter bolts loosened up over the years ... check everything else out... think of it as a process of elimination, we cant hear it... but we can walk you thru it.... and datzenmike is like the king of the trans.. so im sure hell stop by soon Edit: i just had something pop into mind, does it seem like the clutch has a really small throw out/engaging spot? like less then an inch? http://community.ratsun.net/topic/30161-another-clutchtrans-issue-after-motor-swap/

luv it.... that is a cool idea... happy to see some results

:w00t:

:rofl:

AGREED

so i guess your using the old high beams as fog lights then?

fat mat, dynamat, umm the tar roofing stuff (some old schoolers use it, theres also an aluminum ruber membrane at lowes thats for roofing and around windows, comes in like 12" by 33' for like 14 bucks

yeah there was someone... i want to say last week you informed of this as well, they ended up picking up a megasquirt system because it was easier and cheaper....

BLEH.. no, im in nc... plus i dont really care about being over here, i was stationed out here from so cal
