*** I am getting this crazy ass "clicking sound" comming from my engine (sounds like when you put penny in a plastic box and shake it fast).
CAR: 1994 Toyota Celica 1.8L DOHC (Automatic)  -basic bolt-ons (no boost) OK, lets start from beginning... - 3 weeks ago I bumped the I-355 highway median (Illinois), and just made a small dent on the front left side of my car. I'm just stating this so that you are informed, I don't think that there was any internal engine damage done but I just wanna state every single detail. - 1 week ago the "clicking sound" was sometimes heard at high RPMs (5000 RPMs and up). But this was only when I pressed hard on the gas. - 1 day ago the "clicking sound" was heard every-single-time I was in high RPMs and it was getting louder and louder. - LAST NIGHT the "clicking sound" was really loud and clicking fast, and eventually my car shut off. I had to try 3-4 times to start it and finaly it turned on after 20 min wait. STEPS TAKEN: -I got some more expensive Shell 93 Octane -I changed oil filter and got some Castrol Syntetic oil -I have checked the spark-plugs and wires themselves -I have also opened the valve cover making sure that the gasket was not damaged (since I've seen some dark liquid on bottom block)  *** I have no idea whats wrong with my car, the "clicking sound" is getting louder and faster, if anyone has any tips/hints let me know!!! thanx |

I've had 2 problems that created that sort of sound in the past.
The first one is the injectors 'clicking' on the current Celi I have, not very loud so I don't think it's that. The other was a broken rocker arm which was letting the back of a valve 'tap' the valve cover. Judging by your picture it isn't that(though I'd double check all the springs just in case, and you'd notice a mark on the inside of the valve cover), but it would cause that loud 'machine gun' type sound. This happened on my old Hyundai(first car, would never own another one). If it was a piston/ring the car probably wouldn't move at all. If it was me I'd tear the engine down untill the problem was found(could be the bearings like previously stated, or . A shop would charge a lot to diagnose something of that nature. It would probably cost less to buy a better engine than to have a shop repair it. 4AGZE for $1200 from Jarco. |
