93prelude99 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I was driving, and all of a sudden i heard a noise coming from my engine.. I'm not certain it is the engine right now.. It sounds like rattling cans inside my engine. I took the alternator belt off and then i cranked it to see if that was the problem, it wasn't. So i did the same with the other belt next to it, same thing. Right now I just took the valve cover off and checked for anything broken.. nothing. I don't know what the problem could be, If you can help me out I would appreciate it a lot. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedDemon Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 like a really heavy rattling can? or literally like a rattling can? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

93prelude99 Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 Sounds like rattling cans inside the engine. Could the water pump make that kind of a noise? When i changed the timing belt i didn't changed the water pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78civicguy Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 (edited) rattling hmmm.......it can be the valves sinking into the cylinder head or cylinder following guide clearance....but where is the rattling coming from? that is the question...oooh and as in cranked the belts you mean you made them tighter? beacause that will be really bad you want to tourqe the bolts to the manifactures specifications Edited March 26, 2010 by 78civicguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
