First order of business is identifying the source of that rpm-related knock. You'll need a lift for that. Tranny or engine. Inside the crankcase or external...

sorry about crappy video. no loss of power on track.
talked to mechanic today - plugs & coils all checked out ok - noise seems to be coming from cylinder 6 - engine coming out![Mad](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/mad.gif)
well cared for car with only 12k - wtf?
what else (besides coolant line fix) would be prudent to upgrade while torn apart?

Subscribed. Let us know what they find with engine out.
My .1 3.6 grenaded at the track in March...#4 con rod broke at the wrist pin and shredded the case. 50K miles.
To my uninitiated ears, it sounds a bit like a spun bearing? Do these engines do that?

Hey Alex--it's a 997.1 so no vario-actuators on the exhaust cams in the bottom. More importantly, have you seen the actuator problem on earlier cars too?

It takes a while but once there's enough separation the low oil pressure light comes on but that's about 1-2 seconds away from loosing timing and disaster. For a while the screws will rattle and Chafe away at the aluminum cover first. That stuff will show up in the oil. They can get to them easily with the engine out. The factory released a newer replacement part with higher friction surfaces but it doesn't help much. A ****ty design
And not manufactured with good tooling either it seems. The bloody hole aren't even exact either. They quickly become oval.
