Unusual Sound

Post by Lanval » Sun May 31, 2015 11:15 pm

I had to dig into the Vanagon today (write up on that in another post), but while running the engine, noticed an odd sound. Not perfectly regular, but perfectly irregular. I'm wondering if there's a leak somewhere in the intake or exhaust manifold, perhaps a spark plug misfiring? I've linked to two videos, one showing the engine, one more localized over the alternator; the sound was coming from that area (passenger side of the engine) so maybe you guys can take a listen and see if it sounds familiar.

Waiting for the video to upload/process on Photobucket...
