Tko Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Is the motor correct on fluids? They all full? Is the trans correct on fluids? Did you install everything to the correct torque specs? Can you hear the sound when the motor free revs while in Neutral? If not your problem is your trans. If so your problem is the motor not the trans. When you changed your cams did you put the new valve springs and retainers? Did you use a feeler gauge to check that everything in the top end was properly installed?

xxhrdcr4lifexx Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 wow metal on metal never a good thing, but only when vtec tries to kick in weird. you might want to take your oil pan off and make sure you dont have any metal shavings in there, kuz if you do something got all goobered up in there. could be the cam pushing the lifters up to high and hitting the cover. could be poorly trq'd down, could be signs of a seizing crank, could be a a/c pump about to seize up or anyother pump, could be alot of dif things. i would take the oil pan off 1st and make sure you dont have any shavings in there, if you do could be a more seriouse problem than you think. POORLY BUILT MOTOR, or its just a tired out motor and needs to be rebuilt. OORRR it could be that the vtec wasnt wired up the correct way so its having trouble engaging properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
