Re: Silky GTE16v

Bigdrifter, I had a similar wrattling sound near the exhaust when I had my GTE 8V.

This turned out to be a worn metal ring at the joint where the manifold meets the next section of the exhaust.

It was cheap and easy to fix. I'm sorry, but I can't remember the name of the part.

Hope this helps.

I've since bought another complete system including the manifold (All Magnex) but its not fitted yet, will be going on after the paint is done along with fixing the leaky sump, new lifters, Courtenay cams and Courtenay chip - all sitting waiting. Thanks for the advice

I'm not joking either.

Re: Silky GTE16v

As of tomorrow its off the road - the stripdown starts in the morning ready to despatch the car to the bodyshop on Monday. Expecting it to be gone for a month realistically so l'll be driving my £30 mk3 Astra for a bit until its all back together. Been adding up what its all cost so far and including buying the car in the first place and the bodywork/respray and its just as scary as l thought - about £5k
New thread will start tomorrow and l'll try to keep plenty of pics and updates in there as they get on with the bodywork
