Saleen Engine Noise?

[Pliskin]

Hey Saleen S/C owners, I've noticed an odd idle noise from my engine. It sounds like a click or a tap. I asked the dealer and a guy from Saleen and he says its normal. It sounds like a rough idle, a tap, a knock or something like that. Doesn't sound normal. Anyone else have this?

Are you talking about the normal stock compressor clutch phhttt every few minutes or something different.

No im not. Thatd be pretty stupid on my part . But its a low tap tap tap tap tap.

get a mechanics stethoscope for under $20 from the tool trucks. then use it to locate the noise yourself. its worth the investment.

Yes, I've had the noise on my 2000 S281 SC. The blower belt was hitting the water/coolant neck. Slightly turned the neck and no more noise. As far as a newer model 07-present with that noise, good luck...

If you are hearing a kind of quiet tap,tap,tap, it's probably the injectors and is normal.

+1 on anthony05gt's post. I just upgraded from the stock 24lb injectors to the 39lb injectors and definitely notice a ticking sound at idle speed that wasn't there before changing out the injectors.
