A while back ago, I took a road trip on the highway, drove fast, with low oil pressure.. on my 94 SE VE30DE "MaxiBeast" lots of fun.. long story short, when the engine is running, I can hear very clearly the piston, knocking on the head or flapping around.. I found out with my research, all the syptoms of a piston slap..

Does anyone know a good instruction or tutorial link on how to open my front engine cylinder head to access the piston nē4 ? I do have the Haynes Repair book but I need something more specific...

I saw some video on utube but it was not engine specific and its seem complicated to access to put it on TDC. Any idea?
Thanks.

 

And also I get to code 501 or 0501 from the ECU and I can't seem to find any information on the purpose of it, all I know is that this is injector related... and advice? My resistance meter show 0.011 ???

 

Have video of it running? Sure not vtc

 

Well. Turns out my well to famous solenoid went bad but not enough to cause such a noise. Ill try the record the thing .. but not sure if its a good idea to run it just for the show ... I don't want to make it worst..there is enought here to learn about it. Just look piston slap..

Any instruction picture or diagram of the take-off process ?

 

First it was a misfire on my cylinder 4, I changed the ignition coil, did the spark plugs, now I get the 501 response, injectors seem fine. Engine still sound like the piston is hitting the spark plug or cylinder head ON the cylinder 4 !

Suggestions ...?
