loud clatter @ 2k rpm?

[grooveline]

check this out. if i keep my ride in 1st, or 2nd, and accelerate to 2k rpm and keep it pegged at 2k, i get this loud valve clatter. has anyone else experienced it? however, i must add that it only does this in the 200-2200 range.... is this a by product of VTC?

interesting. maybe it's the secondary set of rocker arms flopping about just before they get locked to the primary ones.

oh yeah.. i'm usin 5w-30, which is changed religeously, so it can't be from thin oil....

any ideas? anyone? anyone?

Do you have a strut bar in your car???? If so an intake??????

i have an Ebay SRI... but i have lots of clearance between it and the engine....

no one else has experienced this?

cmon guys..... drive by a wall or median with a constant load of 2000 rpm on your engine and tell me what you hear.

NO but a cool thing i've noticed is


Lets say your in an apt complex or whatever (might need a cai to hear this)

put it in first and accelerate a little, like to 1500 or 2k , then stick the clutch in you can hear this sucking sound coming from the front, take it out of first and it disappears. and doesnt re appear until you put it back in and release the clucth.
