Sounds like my dephaser pulley might be done.... other checks before conclusion??

[Cro]

Just developed the usual sound of a dephasher pulley on its way out (tractor time, same as how Dr Rollos car did) but what other checks can I do to rule anything else out before I make shapes towards sorting the dephaser??:dapprove:

 

[dunlop]

disappear after 1500/1800rpm?

if so its 100% the pulley

Just remember my sheared off about about 20 miles driving, causing exensive damage.

 

[Cro]

Yeah I'm very reluctant to drive it anywhere DrRollo!
Had to drive it home a few miles last night after I started hearing it so essentially the engine was warm and the noise wasn't as bad.
I'm going to have a look in a bit and check see if the noise dissappears but from what I think I can remember the noise doesn't really go away just speeds up and sounds but quietens...

 

[Cro]

Ok so the noise appears to continue throughout the rev range (I only took as far as 3.5k) in first and second. BUT disappears when I blip the throttle or when i come off acceleration and comes back when it settles on idle!
Still sound like dephaser??

Mine has gone 2! What all's involved it fixing? Will it has bent valves?

 

[Cro]

Nightmare stu!! Your car sounding like a tractor with the loud ticking??
Not sure about bent valves but as far as fixing i believe its engine out cambelt off number. You gonna do yours yourself?

 

[dunlop]

aye sounds lie dephaser.

if it's still running, new belt, new dephaser. thats it.

if it broke, then new valves.

Cheers for the help dunlop, i'll start on the hunt for a new parts. Definately engine out job then :dapprove:

although you made a valid point, i just wanted to add mine had gone tractor time for 0000's of miles, and no issue. Just annoying.

Not worth taking the risk though

What you taking the engine out for?? you dont need to take the engine out for the pulley and belt??

 

[Cro]

Really can it be done in situ then SBV116?

 

[SBV116]

Dephaser pulley on a 182?? yes, just like doing a cambelt, bit fiddly / tight and you need the locking tools, but defo no need for engine out!! Do a few every week!!

 

[Cro]

Good man, a small ray of hope at the end of this tunnel

 

[Cro]

Ok ........... so the problem was a spark plug had worked its way loose!! Rediculous I know and I had the EXACT same noise as in the videos of Dr Rolloo and Fred but thats what it was. Stupid problems are the worst but glad thats it!!
