Okay since yesterday I installed a new inspection plate and turned the boost up to 18psi wiht 54psi base fuel pressure. I'm plenty on fuel.
But we had a knock, since doing so. Diagnosed it, it turned out to be the upper inspection plate rubbing against the torque converter bolts (they were all shiny). Okay move the upper plate back and cut it. Noise went away.
Today: Drove it around for a bit noise seldomly came and went at idle. Pretty soon the noise got LOUD! Only at idle though. I give it gas and the noise quieted (didn't go away, just got quieter).
So I jack it up, call everyone I can to get help. Rob says it sounds like bolts rubbing on something. Okay what I thought too. Paint the TC bolts black and start it up. 2 out of 4 bolts had paint missing on the sides. Took the bottom inspection plate out and the noise got much, much louder.
WTF is going on here??? I started it and listened around. The noise is definately coming from the bellhousing. I listened to the oil pan as much as possible and there is no noise whatesoever. Whew! Glad it's not a rod bolt or bearings.
Please help me as soon as possible, I'm desperate. :(
