You can also use a piece of rubber hose/ tubing and listen to specific parts of the engine.

 

Well , it's not in the valve train , going under for a look at the bell housing/TC bolts after i eat some supper.

I used the handle of a hockey stick to listen to certain spots , i could not really pinpoint any one spot the noise seemed to be coming from, from the top of the engine.


Have I mentioned that i picked this beauty up for 500 bucks? 99 Grand Cherokee. I hope it is something simple , but worst case scenario, I can get a used long block from a friend for 200 bucks, he owned the jeep from new , until he parted it out this winter.

Guys , you are not going to believe this...

I got it fixed , it was a LOOSE TORQUE CONVERTER BOLT.... picture to come...

 

good deal i always coming across car deals like that. a simple fix that someone thinks is major.....

 

It's going to be a little more in depth than i figured, i think the bolt has bent the top edge of the flywheel cover, so i think i am going to have to drop the trans out to find what the bolt is hitting on , i tightened it back in , and the noise changed some , but it is still there.

 

Still better than tearing out the engine IMO glad you found out the problem.

 

Good way to get things fixed,, Jayme, your so smart.

 

Smart and unusually lucky at times , are two different things

I make house calls BTW

 

tease! put that tongue away...

 

drop the trans yet
