Engine noises

[OchAye74]

I m hoping I m worrying about nothing but my Tuscan makes some concerning noises. I ve placed a few videos of what I mean here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1bScepf40_L...

After watching Two Dead Centre s latest video featuring the Tuscan, I thought mine sounds similar, is it misfiring? The sounds seems to cut out a bit, my phones mic may be getting blown out.

There is also a rotating grinding sound that becomes noticeable in all gears at 2200 revs. It disappears if I let the revs drop back below 2200. The Engine Noise 1 & 2 videos have it, you might need to use headphones to notice it as it s subtle and towards the end of video 1. Is there anything to be concerned about here?

I also recorded it at idle (about to go onto freshly laid chips ?), am I simply hearing the fuel pump here?

Cheers

Sorry about that, Drive is saying anyone with the link can access it. Maybe try this link?

I’ve added them to One Drive too but that’s a God awful system, at least on iPads.

This one worked for me.

It's hard to make out the sounds but the top cam chain can rub on the inside of the cam cover which gives a metallic grinding sound.

Cheers, I’ll get that seen to.

Mystery solved … I’m going to butcher this explanation … the half link timing chain? the 8mm nut at the end of the engine that has a lock nut needed to be tightened by a very small amount!
