Mr Scheme

Well Ive ruled out the pulleys on mine being an issue. Ive changed the oil from the 5w-40 castrol edge that was being put into it and went to 10w-40 castrol edge and will see if that helps any but my first 2 days of driving with the new oil the sounds are the same. Noise comes and goes when it feels like it. I feel nothing wrong with the car...just has that noise. My noise goes away with revs though. Im happy though that you guys are getting told there was no problem. But if it keeps up ill put it in to be checked and maybe do the valve springs too like you did GeGe6

ill check my pulleys first. I already replaced the upper idler pulley with a metal unit about 5000kms ago because it was noisy. will have to drop the belt off and check both anyway to be sure But Its definitely a separate noise to the injectors. Experience of what slack chain sounds like on other motors is pointing me in that direction as much as id prefer it not to be

its always possible. Would it be a constant noise though if it was broken? This seems to come and go randomly. Forgot to mention it has occurred when hot and when cold and other times it sounds like its working perfectly when hot or cold

My XR6T sound like it has developed a noise behind the front engine cover. Sounds like the chain is loose to me. Car has only done just over 23,000kms and has only been tuned since 21,000kms I hve been running with thr tock tune to see if it made any difference this past week and it hasnt. I have been told these cars have some multi stage hydraulic adjuster in them. How hard is this to get to? Would it be an expensive job to get done? If anyone has pics or has found a post about this could you point me to it?

Im living in Yeppoon nowadays. wish all my cars were too. at least the XR6T is up here to fling around

good run albeit a little damp but good to talk to some people about these cars.

ill be heading down to the BP/KFC around 8:30pm and grab some food. hopefully see everyone who makes it

so yous reckon around 9-9:30pm getting to the BP/KFC in Albion Park?

definitely try and meet up with everyone at the BP/KFC as I missed the last one that came down here. The pass is a really good run and the road surface is really good these days. I drive up and down it every day for work
