What Causes the Abnormal Noise When the Engine is Cold but Disappears When It's Warm?
1 Answers
The reason for abnormal noise when the engine is cold but disappears when it's warm is: In a cold state, due to gravity, the engine oil is all in the oil pan and has not yet fully lubricated all parts of the engine. At this time, when starting the engine, there is no oil film between the components, especially in areas such as the cylinder head and valves, leading to abnormal noise due to lack of lubrication. After the engine warms up, all parts are fully lubricated by the oil, and the noise disappears. Causes of abnormal noise: 1. Noise caused by valve tapping; 2. Noise due to the generator belt being too tight or too hard; 3. Noise caused by generator belt slippage; 4. Noise due to timing chain loosening.
