lucky or what
« on: 23 December 2009, 15:28:20 »
further to my post in help section about rattling v6.
the cam timing was way out, drivers side(outer) cam 5 teeth out, well i thought i was doomed. however, fitted a new belt kit & tensioners & fired her up. Well it ran :o no missfire, rattled for a bit until the lifters got happy again but all seems ok apart from the egr gasket has blown.think i will be blanking that off now anyway. so im happy again now. :y

As the cams go at 1/2 engine speed thats 300 rpm for that cam ...  thats 5 revs /second, if you ran it for 12 seconds ... long enough to hear the problem, register it, switch off,  thats 60 cycles.

I believe you said just one cam out, so that's 6 valves per cam ... so if the valve and piston met each valve gets hit 60 times .....   :(   thats 360 "strikes" ....... 

More than enough impacts to do some serious damage I'd have thought .......

So .. you was very lucky IMHO  ....  :)

Exactly... It only takes 1 hit to bend a valve ;) ;)

Appreciate that, which is what the 12 seconds was based on .. ok . perhaps it only took you 6 seconds to register the noise and switch off .. thats still 180 hits in total, 60 per cylinder !!!
