strange rpm-dependant noise

Post by logik »

hi all,

have just thrown the starion back together, and now at a certain rpm the engine makes a strange noise. if i go above the rpm, the noise disappears.

i cant help but think it might be balance shafts?

i've uploaded a video on youtube with the noise

it is at 0:26 and the noise is quite short.

just in case this happens to someone else, check the tension of your belts. my timing belt was done up a bit too tight...after loosening it up the noise has disappeared - hopefully havent done any damage.
