possum Donating Members 553 Member For: 15y 7m 3d Gender: Male Posted 22/12/10 12:21 PM Share Posted 22/12/10 12:21 PM (edited) Id be checking your flexplate also, ive had alot of problems with mine, the knock from the flexplate can sound deep because it echoes in the bellhousing. It will get progressively worse everytime you start it.I found I could get mine to sound the worse by pulling the fuel pump relay and cranking it a couple of times.I hope for your sake its the flexplate and not a rod.Edit: you could try removing the torque converter bolt cover and see if u can move the flexplate a lil bit in comparison to the crank Edited 22/12/10 12:23 PM by possum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that there is a minor bend in rod number 3.Kyle173 has a full atomic engine for sale,if the tuner doesn't come the party on your repairs??I wish I had the cash for his motor I would have grabbed it of him now, but I bought a bussiness that im starting soon an all my funds are getting thrown there, I probable will not be able to start on my motor for at least two months or so.

spoolxr6 Member 312 Member For: 14y 1m 11d Posted 22/12/10 01:15 PM Share Posted 22/12/10 01:15 PM (edited) I'd like to see CV respond to this. It should only be a matter of time before they read this thread. What will the excuse be? I bet it'll be anything but their " $ 390 Xmas special custom tune". Nice Xmas they gave CCCC. This is really bad for their business and the right thing to do would be to rebuild his motor (if damaged) and retune accordingly free of charge. This would then show some members here that they stand behind their service. I mean it wasn't as if he kept driving without paying attention to what the car was doing, he took it straight back and they aknowledged that a tuning problem existed, otherwise they wouldn't have offered alternate tunes. I mean if it cost them 5k they can recover this in 10 or so Tunes, but if they don't offer him this I can guarantee they have already lost that amount in the lack of customers who will now not go to them once they have read this thread. If CV reads this, step up to the plate and help the poor guy out. You broke you fix! Fair is Fair. Edited 22/12/10 01:17 PM by spoolxr6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 22/12/10 01:28 PM Share Posted 22/12/10 01:28 PM xr6t_ute, I will take it to the track once its fixed. with 350rwkw I got my 11.76 with 2.1 60". there is a 10 in there with 350rwkw on his dyno. mind you that's through the converter 350rwkw.I will be only selling the motor once I get a buyer. So should get a chance to take it to the track once before upgrading again.spoolxr6, unfortunatlly, tuners will always find a way around fixing and paying for rebuilds. sucks balls. They ALWAYS cover their ass first before looking after clients. No matter who the shop is usually! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XF Falcon <put funny sh*t here> Member 3,365 Member For: 18y 1m 17d Gender: Male Location: Perth, NOR Posted 22/12/10 05:13 PM Share Posted 22/12/10 05:13 PM Yeah, if your flexplate bolts are coming loose, it will get worse every time you run the car usually.Like rattler said, to test if its that, hold your foot firm on the brake while its in drive and slightly stall up the motor and if the rattle sound disappears under load, then its your flexplate. If that's the case, avoid driving it any more, get it towed to somewhere (or do it all yourself), but you don't want it to completely come off and start ruining/stripping other parts.
