Are the non tilt ones the same inside? Mines got that wiggle, i put a 1965 c30 steering wheel in my 84 s10 and i had to remove just the lock ring to get it to fit, so far it gives no troubles but i noticed the wheel can shift around and wiggie if you jerk on it, its been torqued on firm so the wiggle is definitely coming from within

Is the e-fan out? You need a stethoscope and have to listen to where the noise is loudest. If it comes directly from the timing case cover there aren't many options: timing chain, slide rail, chain tensioner. If there's something on the chain, you'll usually have a misfire when you step on the gas. Maybe it's the oil pump. If it's coming from above, there may be an air leak somewhere. Does it show errors?
@jmxr974Ай бұрын
Sometimes the plastic from the chain guide is through and then the chain drags on the aluminum. Does the noise become more high-frequency at higher speeds?
@vikingmechАй бұрын
@@jmxr974 The timing chain and tensioner are new along with a new melling oil pump. The pitch does go up along with rpm going up. It sounds just like a bad power steering pump type noise. They did leave the VVT solenoid unplugged so there's a code for that. No other codes. We need to get that VVT solenoid plugged back in. I'm wondering if its the cam phaser making noise since its not getting any oil pressure due to the unplugged solenoid.
@jmxr974Ай бұрын
@@vikingmech Then pull the fuse from the electric steering module but I don't think that's what's causing it. It's a closed system and as you said, the noise gets louder with high rpm. Melling makes very good oil pumps, I don't think it comes from that. If the VVT is broken, it would make more of a clicking noise. Maybe it's just a pre-oil problem or the parts need to be ground in first. Maybe it will get better after he runs a few miles. Check again whether the seal on the harmonic balancer is seated correctly.
@vikingmechАй бұрын
@@jmxr974 The elect steering wasn't touched during the cam swap so I don't think its that. I wonder if the pickup tube didn't get seated in the oil pump and its sucking air. It really sounds like an "air-in-the-oil" type sound. Although I have excellent oil pressure. The noise does get a lot quieter once the oil is up to temp, but its still there. All good suggestions, thanks!
@jmxr974Ай бұрын
@@vikingmech Okay, try overfilling the oil a little. Did you perhaps forget the seal between the pickup tube and the oil pump? But if the oil pressure is good, this is almost impossible. During the video I also had the feeling that he was taking in air somewhere. It's hard to say. You have to use a stetoscope to find the location of the noise, then you can better determine the cause. No problem, I like to puzzle over problems like this, you can let me know what it was or whether it has gotten better. As I said, every now and then new parts make strange noises for the first time.

I didn’t like the way the transgo hd-2 wants you to put an external line pressure relief valve on the valve body. Jake from Jake’s performance said he’s seen more than a few of those relief valves stuck open causing a burn down of the unit. I removed all that crap and plugged the holes with some 3/16 aluminum rod. I ordered a sonnax boost valve that fixes the issue that creates the excessive line pressure increase it uses the stock springs and includes a new end plug with a o ring to seal a worn bore letting fluid leak and making the pressure rise. Sonnax part # 34200-03k. You can also use the P#4l80-lb1 Also didn’t like the weird 3 piece VB seperator plate so I ordered a new ACDelco plate off Amazon for 10 bucks. Then went back into the center support and removed the second seal ring and pulled the inner seal out of the direct drum for dual feed. Plug the reverse feed hole in the case with a .375 plug. I kept some of the springs from the hd2 kit and I kept the HD intermediate snap ring. I also used a rear case thrust washer inside the rear planet with a .015 shim to take up some of the slop on the rear planet. I dont trust that damn relief valve at all. Nor do I trust the hd2 boost valve and spring setup, if that boost valve was correctly engineered you wouldn’t need the sketchy relief valve, Edit: My opinion for the hd2 kit is that for people who want a better shifting unit without removing it from the vehicle it is a good kit. I just wish I had ordered the sonnax sure cure kit in the first place and saved some money.

Thats a great comment with a lot of extra details we can all learn from. I didn't do every step in the Transgo kit either because I know a few things (especially that relief valve) are not necessary and can cause bigger problems.
