im guessing that this is a no brainer, but i want to see what you guys think.
when the car is running, i can hear a clicking noise from the engine bay with the hood open, when i duck down to under the engine, it gets even louder. i think it might be coming from the harmonic balancer,either it's shot, or the contact point on the front timing chain cover has gone bone dry...
any input is terrific! thanks yet again camaroforums.com!!!
Goodfella

 

Automatic or stick? I have had cracked flex plates that sounded like a valve tap but like you said it was loader under the car. Back in the 88-89's I replace a few flex plates while still under warranty.

 

are you sure the clicking is coming from there ?

 

im pretty sure the clicking is coming from there. i dont have a stethoscope to poke around with...
oh and its a stick. flywheel has been resurfaced=A-OK

 

Never mind I didn't read your sig.[sm=oopssign.gif] It's not a issue with a stick.

 

Mine made a noise like that ,and i found that the P/S pump bracket was alittle loose .I would check the stupid little stuff first.

 

Does it run good, while driving? no pinging or knocking, poor acceleration? reason im asking is because the knock sensor is located down on the front of the block passenger side by the starter, and mine makes the same noise, so it might be the culprit? just a thought? Good luck!
