Knock knock who's there
Hardly drive her and randomly this happens when I stanced my car
Put the new wheels on, turned the car on, and this happened.


Car has a freshly built bottom end with gen2 block, stock lsj rods, new bearings and diamond pistons. I put a broom stick to the valve cover and the noise is clearly coming from the intake side of cyl 3 and no where else.

Stock head barely over 100k and new style timing chain tensioner.

Interceptor says 2 misfires on cyl #3

Ye old broom stick to the ear trick says it's on the intake side of cyl 3. Hopefully it's just a lifter. Sometimes is goes away and when I'm driving it just makes noise sometimes

7k isn't too bad. but still not that great for stock head.

You didnt make the mistake of "Oh i thought it put it in 4th but it went in 2nd?" lol

this is just their stage1 head. i asked the owner and he says all 'gmr' parts are simply stock replacements, but still a good deal for all that with a ported head, cams and springs and studs. i'd get it all crytreated

Sure its not clutch chatter? its hard to tell from the video. My trans and lightened flywheel sound pretty much exactly like that, maybe a tad quieter. Does it go away when you push the clutch in?

PS, buy it from zzp, not fmsr :P
