Technical strange noise??

[MintySport]

i hope some1 can shed bit of light on this. i fitted my k&n bout month ago, nice roar and induction suck but it died down, fitted amp other day, ran power cable thro bulkhead at grmmet point and now grommet wont go in meaning noise from engine comes thro hole, but..... i know my tappets r noisy but it seems also since i removed and replaced rocker cover to spray it and also degreased engine with spray on, hose off stuff, the engine seems really noisy!!! the hiss u sometimes get from induction is now more noticable than the low roar and my tappets have got louder!!!

pls if ne1 can help me....do so!!
gonna try hard reset of ecu overnight tonight and see if it makes any diff (clutching at straws with this idea!)

p.s. also touched one of my ht leads n got f@*kin nasty shock, think i shud replace em? cus idle and pick up been bit rough lately too!

You could be hearing the crack of a shorting HT lead, They need to be sorted. You may have knocked a pipe off if you are hearing more of a roar.

Get the grommet sorted before the cable rubs through, tho.

Get some oil or spray grease on to the clutch and linkage, better than WD40.

WD40 wont last long.... few weeks at max as was said get some proper grease into action..!


Also as for new HT leads I recommened if your going to replace them get the Magnecor KV85 leads

I am going to get some leads tomorrow, and see if it makes a difference. I don't think i have knocked any pipes though. I know the degreaser took all the lube off of the joints because the clutch got stiff and so were gear changes. A quick spray of WD40 sorted that. Anyone else got any ideas?

Some people who do not use English as their first language also use this forum. Text speak makes it even harder for them to make out what we are saying.

I hope you get it sorted though mate, best of luck

cheers joe, constructive help there!!

i was in a rush and panicing about my car at the time!
i would have assumed all the people on the forum would have a mobile phone as they can operate a pc and therefore most people use text language!

its just a quicker way to get the point across

anywho, still no wiser on problem but have replaced the bad ht lead and its seems to have made a weeeee bit of a difference! just cant get the others on from the set, bit too tight
