Problem | Possible cause | Action |
● Temporary noise on startin a cold engine | Normal | This noise will disappear after the oil in the engine has reached normal pressure. |
● Continuous noise when engine is started after loger than 48 hours parking. | Oil drain out of the high pressure chamber on HLA, allowing air to get in. | Noise will disappear within 15 minutes when engine run at 2000~3000 rpm If not disappear, refer to item 7 below |
● Continuous noise when engine is first started after rebuilding cylinder head. | Insuffecient oil in cylinder head oil gallery. | |
● Continuous noise when engine is after excessive craking the engine by starter motor or band. | Oil drain out of the high-pressure chamber in HLA, allowing air to get in. | |
● Continuous noise when engine is after changing HLA. | caution Do not run engine all a speed higher than 3000 rpm as this may damage HLA. | |
● Continuous noise during idle after high speed running. | Engine oil level too high or too low. | Check oil level. Drain or add oil as necessary. |
Execssive amount of air in the oil at high engine speed. | Check oil supply system | |
Deteriorated oil | Check oil quality. If deteriorated, replace with specified type and amount of oil. | |
● Noise cotinues more than 15 minutes. | Low oil pressure | Check oil pressure and oil supply system of each part of engine. |
Faulty HLA. | Remove the cylinder head over and press down HLA by band. If it moves, replace HLA. caution Be careful of hot HLA. |
Warm up engine.
