4agZe problem solved - 99% IC problem

[Okami]

Tam dum DAAAAAA? Dramatic music plays...
My stepdad just visited me and he lent me his stethoscoop or whatever you call that.

We listened to the engine together and found out that is probably a cam-shaft-bearing.
Easy to fix or not? Cant find much on the interwebz.

We listened on top of the engine from the oil-cap to the back towards my front window and you could hear how loud it got at the end.
So probably camshaft bearing(s).

We tried this without the belts on and with belts on - so it should be my block then I suppose.
Couldn't hear anything from anywhere else.

I dont believe the camshafts have bearings on 4age's..
Pull the cam covers.. see what you find.

Most unlikely... 4AGE/GZE camshafts run in the head casting and don't
have replaceable shells. To make enough noise to sound like a lawnmower,
you would have to have a broken valve or valve spring, and then you
would (probably) be running on three cylinders.

Thanks Guys... I found that out later...
Dammit.

I will probably drive the car to toyota upcoming next week but first tomorrow there is a special day for any toyota in Gemert.

They are trying to do a world-record-attempt.
I will go with my wifey's starlet.

Hopefully I will find out what it is soon enough.
Time for a mechanic I suppose.

krukas lager die bijna kapot is? bij renault klinkt dat namelijk ook zo. (wel lastig te beoordelen via de video.) hoe ziet je motor olie eruit?

Motor olie ziet er naar mijn mening normaal uit. Heb nog niet echt iets kunnen vinden.
Maandag maar naar de Toyota dealer.

So... update...

Aparently the IC is the one making the sound.
Very weird.
Probably a loose piece inside of it.

I will see if I can fix it and update you as soon as I can.

I rest my case!
I suppose thats it!

[Okami]

Aparently it was the FMIC.
Just ran my car back home and tomorrow will be the big test driving to the spot to test the GT86.

Wish me luck

For now it seems fixed.

I managed to get another FMIC thank God. Pfew!
