soya_sauce Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 hey guys i started my lumina for first time all winter today, its been in underground storage all winter long. im a little concerned though. im hearing a knock coming from the vavle train, only when you rev the engine up. Sounds similiar to the knock a rod bearing would make only its definetly coming from the front bank valvetrain. im curious about cam bearings in the dual ohc engines. Are they a common problem?? difficult to change??? any info or ideas on what may be the problem would be greatly appreciated. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long did you let it run for? Shouldn't be a knock, moreso a tick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nequamminor Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 I dunno about additives... I'd check out this site and make an educated decision after that. http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/ Especially the part mentioning the Lucas oil additive, which is waht I thought was a good additive until I read that article. http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/images/lucas/lucas.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRONDOG442 Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Resolone isnt an additive its more of a detergent designed specifically to quiet valvetrain noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOT2B GM Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 I'd let it warm up to operating temp and see if the noise goes away. One of the lifters has probably lost its prime. Whereabouts are you in Kitchener? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gp90se Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 drain the oil, put in 5 quarts 5w30 synthetic and a bottle of CD2 valvetrain noise stuff. Patgizz swears by royal purple, I'm a fan of syntec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeld Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Remove the serpentine belt, this will isolate w/pump,power strg pump, etc. and listen for any change. Could be a something other than engine noise. Good luck Joel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synistershadows Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 the sound is comming from the opposite side of the engine its on the drivers side front bank of the heads least that what it sounds like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 You can spend all day guessing what the noise is. You can try many many weight oils and that may not even cure the problem. I suggest you go into the engine and find out whats causing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
