Anyways after cam install I have been getting quite a bit of valve train chatter, but on of the noises I had that caused me to do all this stuff is still there. It is really odd, it only happens when climbing a hill under load. The RPM and petal position has to be at the just the right areas or it will not do it... When and iff it does do it (which I can usually make it make the sound now) if I change the petal position (not RPM or MPH) slightly it will go away, then I can return the petal to the original position and it will come back. It is usually easier to just make it down shift.
So I data logged last night going down hill and then coming back up the hill
At 21:42 is where I began up the hill, then at 35:30 is where we have reached the top of the hill
I wrote down the time that we heard the noise, though not as bad as the other night it is still there
18:50
21:05
24:11
24:33
24:45 - 25:01
26:36
29:10
Just wondering if someone had time to glance it the logs and see if they see anything abnormal, I figured if the tick/knock was bad enough the knock sensors would most likely pick it up, but I am not sure exactly what I am looking for
I tried to learn last night but did not have any luck finding the info I needed.Thanks In Advance,
Josh
