U guys mean no other solution other than a new engine............ |

dannydevito: Running an engine dry causes damage to the bearings, crankshafts and camshafts and other movable parts. You will need an engine rebuild. Engine rebuild and labour might be same price with replacing new engine. If in lagos contact me. 08023251039 |

If Gazzuzz is right then you have three options. 1. Do a rebuild or buy a new one as he suggested if you are uncomfortable with the rattle. 2. Try using a heavier oil like a 10w or 20w to see if the noise goes away. 3. Drive it till it quits if the rattle doesn't really bother you and then buy a new engine since the cost of a rebuild is almost same as a new engine. |

dannydevito: Nobody wanna believe he is about spending on major drivetrain member. It's natural. |
| Re: Rattling, Knocking Sound After Changing Oil Seal by Nobody: 4:07pm On Aug 09, 2015 |
dannydevito: How was the leak "fixed"? If a seal was replaced, which seal are you referring to? |
| Re: Rattling, Knocking Sound After Changing Oil Seal by Nobody: 10:20pm On Aug 09, 2015 |
GAZZUZZ:Mr gazzuzz....... can u rebuild an old bmw 320 engine nd d transmission |
| Re: Rattling, Knocking Sound After Changing Oil Seal by dannydevito(m): 11:13pm On Aug 09, 2015 |

SAVEDBABA:I can. |
| Re: Rattling, Knocking Sound After Changing Oil Seal by Nobody: 9:03am On Aug 10, 2015 |
GAZZUZZ:kk........ |
| Re: Rattling, Knocking Sound After Changing Oil Seal by dannydevito(m): 8:21pm On Aug 11, 2015 |
Thanks alot everyone ...siena gazzuz u guys did well.....a couple of factors caused d noise missed timing and wrong oil grade now got all that fixed ...timing set correct oil spec the engine roared like before and very quiet too..... |
| Re: Rattling, Knocking Sound After Changing Oil Seal by GAZZUZZ(m): 12:01am On Aug 12, 2015 |
dannydevito: What oil did you use previously? |
| Re: Rattling, Knocking Sound After Changing Oil Seal by dannydevito(m): 7:49am On Aug 12, 2015 |
Total quartz 20w 50 but now used a 5w40 variant full synthetic |
| Re: Rattling, Knocking Sound After Changing Oil Seal by mayor2013: 7:55am On Aug 12, 2015 |
dannydevito: Congrats. Guess you can fully preach the good news about synthetic oil |
| Re: Rattling, Knocking Sound After Changing Oil Seal by GAZZUZZ(m): 4:07pm On Aug 12, 2015 |
dannydevito: I'm 100per sure you are not telling us what really happened. A change from 20W50 to 5W40 would have little or no effect on the noise you were hearing. How did changing a seal disrupt your original timing settings? Well happy your car is running fine but as I said your story is incomplete. |
| Re: Rattling, Knocking Sound After Changing Oil Seal by dannydevito(m): 9:08pm On Aug 12, 2015 |
Gazzuzz seriously all I said was what happened... I called u myself too........maybe d oil had no effect but from my judgement it changed something but for d knocking sound it was more from the missed timing.....win or lose I didnt drive the engine dry for long during the leak....mind u ur advice of a new engine made me decide to just do this and satisfy my curiosity.....u help me tooo like u said vovlo enginrs are built to last long......... |
