well AudiTech79 told me that the motor i was looking at was not a ATW it was a AMB and it will not work so thats outta the question, but the link to the AEB short block in the link above still hasnt repsonded to me so im still looking around

 

hey question how long did it take you to get your hids from ddm i ordered mine sunday 3 day shipping still says process those bitches have not shipped my hids yet

 

umm i dont really remember but i know it was shorter than my headlights from ECS Tuning. id say somewhere between 2-3 weeks

 

Ha... DHL just tried to deliver my headlights today during the 30 minutes me and the wife weren't home. They'll be back tomorrow...

 

So did the car run okay? I'd be kinda thinking it wasn't a valve issue if the car ran fine.

 

well its funny now cuz i brought it to a friend of mine who has been in the automotive industry for 40+ years and i pulled up and he said put it in park,listened,put it in drive,listened,put it in reverse,listened,put it in neutral, listened and he said the bolts on the flywheel are loose and need to be tightened...does this sound about right...and im calling up ImTheDevil in a few to have his words of wisdom on this whole problem

 

i took a video tonight due to ImTheDevil's idea on feedback from people on here knowing more than him

please let me know what you think...the quality is bad but its from an iphone so dont judge...its an automatic... i started it in park(ovbiously) and then held it there for roughly 5 seconds and then reverse for roughly 5 seconds the then neutral and then drive... any feed back would be very important to me in figuring out this problem

 

its soo hard to say ive never heard that but if the timing was to be off there would be a **** load of miss fires and the car wouldnt start up right

 

well its weird cuz i have no CEL and the car starts up prefectly fine...i can see where it could be the flex plate cuz the pitch changes with changing gears but i can also see the rod or piston cuz its a pretty solid knocking sound

 

alright well does it get louder if you rev it up?
