[jlmillionaire]

Whats good zilvia!! I made these videos about a month or two ago.Im not sure if its the vtc gear or rod knock.I'm about 85% sure its vtc,i checked the oil on dipstick i didn't see any significant signs of metal shavings.I took a wooden broom up to the valve cover and i heard the rattle where the vtc goes,then i put it on the bottom end where the pulleys are and heard a normal humming sound.I bought greddy adjustable cam gears hoping this will fix the problem.I really hope it is the vtc because i just put money down on tomei cams and valve springs and bc retainers.I live in ny so the weather is bad and theres still snow on the ground .Hopefully the weather will be good in the next two to three weeks because im going to just swap out the vtc gear just to make sure!!!! aight here are video links please dont talk shit about the way it looks hah YouTube - SDC10375
