Engine rattling

[mart01]

cambelt full kit includes water pump and fitment approx 300. unsure on oil leak and where? smoke blue/black/white? does smoke appear on cold startup? fine through the day? rattling could be thrust bearing in clutch. see if rattles with clutch depressed on revs.

The smoke only appears on start up then stops immeadiately. What shall I do press the clutch in and rev to see if the rattling starts???

[Wally13]

When I had my foot pressed in on the clutch and revved the engine the rattle was there is this definitely the Cambelt???

Wally, You said that you was taking the car into the dealers to give you a diagnostic have you done that ????.

[Wally13]

Yeah I did they seem to think it is the Cambelt but based on what I’ve said about the smoke on start up the noise and the noise still there when I put in neutral and with the clutch in I just wanted to gage what you all thought???

When it’s in neutral and moving there is no noise
