[V8] noise thats driving me absolutley CRAZY!!

[UR32VQUATTRO]

Probably cause the timeing belt wasnt tensiond properly. This has been
dicussed here before.  you HAVE TOO losen the cam pullys when tensioning the
belt (hence the need for cam lock tools.  If you dont allow the cam pullys
to move while adjusting the belt, only one side wil tension up. Drive the
car a little bit , and it will develop slack and slap against the timing
cover. Al

shocks and bearings inclusive, but didn't do it on the 4.2 after keith @
audiconnection did the 4.2 swap, new timing belt and all.

confusing the thing.  The 3.6, when it was experiencing it, wasn't as snappy
as it shouldve been.
