vr6newcomer 1 Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 hi mate, cld possibly be ure rocker cover gasket, but isnt really a major problem as long as ure not losing excessive oil as the boys have been mentioning previously. Link to post Share on other sites
jeggy 0 Posted January 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 the timing chain noise does sound like the noise i am getting but it sounds much louder but maybe its just the sound clip does anyone know the part numbers for the parts so i can get them and what i would need to fix this problem. still getting some oil loss and i dont know where from doesnt seem too bad but the oil on plugs was the thing that worried me.
