HI PSI Member 1,588 Member For: 18y 11m 8d Gender: Male Location: Central Queensland Posted 17/10/15 11:57 AM Author Share Posted 17/10/15 11:57 AM All aftermarket components have previously been refitted in an attempt to identify the issue. Unfortunately, all to no avail. I'm currently over in W.A and as a result, I haven't spoken to Darren since my last post here. I will try to call him tomorrow , to see if he has made any progress.CheersBrad Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91160-desperately-need-help-new-built-engine-with-strange-sound/page/6/#findComment-1565318 Share on other sites More sharing options...
xr6tForMe Donating Members 275 Member For: 11y 10m 4d Gender: Male Posted 17/10/15 08:19 PM Share Posted 17/10/15 08:19 PM Loosening chain tension and lowering the RPM when the noise starts (as described earlier):This reminds me of tuning a guitar string (change the tension and the vibration changes) - again pointing to resonance in the chain. The questions I would be trying to work out.Is it possible that there is resonance in the chain? Why would it be happening in this motor? How can you confirm or rule it out?What can be done to change/fix it?

He's owned the car for two years and only managed around 70km. For this reason he has put it on the back burner. I believe that the motor will be pulled and stripped down. When th8s will occur, is anyone's guess.

dsheps83 Member 19 Member For: 16y 17d Posted 23/12/15 08:18 AM Share Posted 23/12/15 08:18 AM I have a pretty much factory motor and I get the same things but mine is around 2000rpm, I took the pump out as I thought there was an issue. there was a fraction of sideways movement in the pump gears, I wonder if that's enough movement to get a vibration sound.

It still has the factory housing installed, but with no gears installed. :-(Thanks for the thought, it is greatly appreciated...

HI PSI Member 1,588 Member For: 18y 11m 8d Gender: Male Location: Central Queensland Posted 23/12/15 10:06 AM Author Share Posted 23/12/15 10:06 AM Darryn just called me before and he's still devastated about the whole ordeal. So much so, that he was just going to put the engine under a bench and forget about it. After chatting for a while, he said that he will pull the engine down after Christmas and recheck everything. During the call he informed me that he is investigating some radical changes to the platform. As you can well understand, he wants to keep it low key for the time being. But, if it proves to be viable, it will be a game changer......
