    Weird Engine Noise - Totally Baffled - Please Help!

    Sorry for the late reply! That is a little steep to be honest as I got mine from eBay for £70 including delivery. I paid my mechanic £300 but that also included the exhaust system that was installed and a few other things. On the original engine rebuild which also included a port & polish tune...

    Weird Engine Noise - Totally Baffled - Please Help!

    Well I'm going to start it later on at which point the car will have been stood for over 6 hours and will post a video on here as I forgot to do this in the morning. I got a set of cams and gears for £70 off eBay from a breakers who just dismantled a Premier Ep3 - you don't need a separate VTC...

    Weird Engine Noise - Totally Baffled - Please Help!

    I can happily confirm that the cold start rattle has completely gone. I started the car around 8.30AM with the temperatures around 8C which is cold enough and the car would have been sat for over 10 hours and it started no problem and the most crucial thing - NO NOISE! So I am very happy that I...

    Weird Engine Noise - Totally Baffled - Please Help!

    UPDATE My mechanic finally did the work on the car today. First few things I noticed was the camshafts/gears that were replaced appear to be DC5 camshafts as they were stamped RBC which are standard I think on the Integra DC5's? Anyways, so the new ones were installed took most of the day as...

    Weird Engine Noise - Totally Baffled - Please Help!

    No problem mate. I have just ordered the parts required and its not a massive job to be honest. Technically the VTC has already failed as this controls the gears on the camshaft and regulates how the oil is delivered into the valves/pistons etc hence the rattling as the pin is most likely...

    Weird Engine Noise - Totally Baffled - Please Help!

    I am going to speak with my mechanic and look into this LMA thing a bit more as I am running out of ideas to be honest and if Honda are telling you they have no idea then its anyone's guess really Mine had started to do this before the chain snapped about a month ago as well

    Weird Engine Noise - Totally Baffled - Please Help!

    my mechanic had thought it was oil related and I had the oil pump replaced - which would make logical sense as it appears to happen when cold etc but obviously its not that either I have had new chain, guides and tensioner on as well so cannot be that I am also thinking is it something in the...

    Weird Engine Noise - Totally Baffled - Please Help!

    thanks for the reply guys - grumpyg1t - im not sure about the jump start but should think that its ok to jump the EP3 as with other cars; Loxy - yes the whole thing was changed with regards to the guides and tensioner and a full oil change was done with good fully synthetic oil. I don't...
