i'm thinking muffled metal-on-metal awfulness. but again, i havent torn an engine apart in 6 or 7 years, and that was back in my sportbike wrenching/tuning days. i don't remember what i did last week, much less half of what i knew back then. it just doesn't sound healthy to me.

First thing that comes to mind is mad piston slap.

Definitely doesn't sound like a rod knock thank god.... Sounds like a really loose motor, OR... a slipped wrist pin hitting the bore.

Its no easy task to shim these heads. I bet it wasnt shimmed properly.

The noise is definitely head related.

You are right my friend. After hearing that clip. Im willing to bet its the head as well.

Those Meddling Kids · 02-21-2014, 12:44 AM

I concur that it sounds like improper valve setup/broken top end parts.

slicktop · 02-21-2014, 07:10 AM

Well, if you need ANOTHER motor, I can sell you mine in April/May! Has 8xxx on it now, maybe 9500 or so when I pull it.

Nothing like getting your car back after being in the shop for a year only to deal with crap like this.. Sounds like valve train issues to me..

DJCarbine · 02-21-2014, 09:47 AM

Does the FA20 use a solid or hydraulic lifter?

Reminds me of very loose valve lash

DoctorNick · 02-21-2014, 10:19 AM

So glad to see @JuniorAWD has stepped up to the plate to hook you up. Your certainly in good hands now.

xxscaxx · 02-21-2014, 11:22 AM

This is exactly why I said I wouldn't drive that thing until someone else had taken a look at it lol..hopefully its nothing to put you back too much money.

TwinturboCamry · 02-21-2014, 11:39 AM

FRS300 must be rich or something.

Car has been gone for a year
Shipping it around
Finds scratches on it
Looks for pricing on wrapping the car while it has a bum head?

WTF?
