Another Noise….

[Homeboy981]

Not the flywheel. Eliminated the transmission.

Started car without tranny and it is still making that hideous noise AND I could hear it OVER the open headers!

Going to pull the plugs, check the Water Pump by removing the belt and starting….

Would faulty chain tensioners make that noise?

Any other suggestions?

Is it possible to have someone with the right lever(!) to turn over the engine by hand while you listened??? Check compression. I wonder if you installed the exhaust after removing the serpentine belt and then used a stethoscope to pinpoint the area? Before doing that, check the oil filter, including cutting it apart. Remove IMSB and inspect. Seek pro-Porsche tech and pay 'em what he's worth.

Any update??
