Hello,

i dont have any ticking, not a ve, but my problem is engine seem to be loud...i know i have 6 cly but still think it's louder then it should be. it's nothing from thee manifold back i just had all that replaced. It's top engine noise.....i heard that marvel mystery oil works but how often can i use it? and is there anything else that would help quiet it down?

 

any thoughts? suggestions anything?

 

there is no chance that one of thoes stupid ""mystery oils"" will help ur enigne (what stupid name too, who would put anything with the name "mystery" in there enigne)

- u have a broken EGR valve ( not likely)
- or a few broken exhaust studs (welcome to the club, i proly have like a dozen of them lol) yes they effect performance and mpg slighly.
- they are every expencive to fix.

-I got a quote to fix all the studs for $400 and that was a very very cheep quote. i should of taken it... i think .. whateva..

 

My friend had told me that Marval Mystery oil was basically ATF with somethin else in it, he didn't suggest using that either. Said it wouldn' t help anything

 

I tried the marvel mystery oil. I can't say for sure if it worked or not, but b4 I put it in, it had a pretty bad miss and smoked a lil bit. I still have a small miss at low rpms but no smoke. Seems like it worked though

 

Hey ChrisCheezer I had to replace 8 broken studs. 2 in the front, and 4 in the rear flank. they wanted to charger me 1100 Dollars. So....

I came to the conclusion of doing it myself. i didnt on my own i replaced the gaskets, water pump, timing belt, thermostat, and all the other belts.

i did this because i had to remove the heads to drill out the broken studs.

i did all this for 400 Dollars.

SO... my suggestionis to just do it yourself. And if you have any questions you can im me at WDz Sin

..... same for you dkris42

 

umm.....well i just had my whole exhaust replaced....dont you think they would of saw the broken exhaust studs?
sorry if this is a stupid question but i dont think thats the case......it' not really loud it's just i was it quiet as can be

 

sinister- 400 bucks for all that! damn! thats really good

- about replaceing the studs what the haddest part.. and what must u remove to get at them?

dkris42- well ur engine shouldnt be loud..maybe there is somthing wrong.

u had the whole exhaust replaced!!!! omg.. that must of coast u alot! damn, how much? what exactly did they replace and who did the job

 

They replaced everything from the exhaust manifold back which they made me a custom y pipe.....not a new cat though mine was fine.......and from there back.....it cost me $400 but that was to put on all new brakes and rotors as well..........thats why i asked..about the studs...didnt think that was it......it's not loud loud......i dont know how to discribe it.

 

nice! new rotors brakes!, cutom Y pipe and back exhaust! for 400 bucks! wow thats super cheap, how many inches is it


-im going to build a 3 inch exhaust soon.. but im not sure where i should start from
