Re: Engine compartment pans
As TomEndy (#6 thread) stated - when I de-accelerate the reverberation is really loud. Sometimes, I even push in the clutch to ease up on the noise. When we worked on the engine, of course, the side metal air scoops were taken off. I sanded and repainted them. When reinstalled, I made sure the side bolts on each side were installed OK and the oil pan tab was installed. On each side, one engine pan tab (bolt hole) was taken off or just broke off in the past, so I only have one engine pan bolt tab to connect to the oil pan - on both sides. Both side frame bolts are all nice and tight. I have checked all over the engine compartment, the hood hinges, fender bolts, radiator, the dash mounts and I can’t locate the reverberating riddle, when I spool down, going down a hill or even in traffic. Even though those pans are tight, I may have some hermonic noise making or contributing to make a racket. Maybe that, missing pan tab is what is making the problem.
Any ideas are appreciated ?????
