[QUOTE="espin315, post: 134635, member: 2210"] Hello Buddies; Who would like to solve my ktek-ktek-ktek knocking sound problem? Long story. Go take popcorn. FYI, I use my mivec for weekends only. In 7 months I cover only 4000 kms. Thats about it. For 7 months using the engine now I covered only 4000 kms. The story begins like this, there was one night when I "rembat" the car. It was only around the taman/neighbourhood. For a mere 2 minutes. Maxed out 1st and 2nd gears. Then I parked the car. Before turning off, I could see smoke coming out from the left headlight. Popped the hood, the area between the body and the timing belt there got some smoke. Wandered what smoke........ but it went off eventually. Did I burn the tyre so bad? Didn't take heap cos to me, at that time, normallah.... The next week, when I wanted to use the car, got clunking sound coming from the belting area there. It gets subdued when driving but louder when stationery. More louder when aircond. Went to mechanic. Opened one-by-one of the auxilary belts (aircond+altenator) so that we eliminate those 2 parts - still got sound. Only thing left is the crank pulley. I saw the crank pulley kinda donnow what la.... kinda not totally turning smoothly round... (dumb statement) So he got nothing left to open, he opened the crank pulley and the small round bottom end of the timing belt steel cover after the crank pulley gets exposed. Nothing wrong here. So he puts it back. Fixed the crank pulley back and started the engine - amazing - the sound gone! So I pun go home. And park the car. Happy. Only to find out the next weekend the sound suffices again. But now more subtle. Selectively, kadang-kadang ada, kadang kadang takda. But IT IS Still therelah senang cakap. So today I went to see him again, you know he said what? Tukar pulley! What the curse man? Pulley bengkok ke? He said the pulley maybe takda ngam lagi. I don't know. Need to get second opinion. So I ended up putting Tufoil. Didn't do jack. The sound still there. But now I'd say 65% less occurence and audible then before...... The only good Tufoil did was, what I could notice is, creeping in gears (1st, 2nd, 3rd gears with throttle closed, whilst driving at slow speeds) is smoother. Not much though. SNAKE OIL! So anybody, do you guys know what is wrong with my car? Bearing of the pulley maybe? It cannot be the cams coz my engine is so smooth and the mivec can still kick in. Anybody? [/QUOTE]
