This may sound like a silly question but when a windsor engine is reving quickly, do they always make a 'winding up' type of noise?

Its not a diff noise.I know that sound. The reason I am asking is I have new mufflers on my car and its a fair bit quiter(thank god) btu now I can hear the engine alot more and it sounds like its "winding up" !

Hi there Echo.. I think we may need to know a bit more detail on your noise?>

Echo,

Are you sure it's not ignition noise in your stereo? (sorry, I had to ask).
Mine once made a slight whining sound when revving up. It was just after I'd replaced the cam & a few other bits & pieces. I'm not certain but I put it down to a tight new timimg chain. It went away after a little while.

Evan.

100% not the radio :( I was not free revving it, I was going through the gears to redline.

Chev's have their own sound, clevo's have their own sound........Windsors must have their own sound, I have never experienced it before.

Are you sure t:whe whine is not coming from the passenger seat

HEVEN67 · « **Reply #6 on:** February 17, 2007, 11:16:23 am »

Im with brett:(It could be the rubber bands (fan belts) Are they cogged type? I have put coged type on my landcruiser and it makes a Kool winding noise, (wineding:w) The prefix for the belt will include a 'X' eg 'ZX700' Z=size and X= cogged and 700=long, Does that make sence? It could be power steering pump too!

No, not cogged type belts.

Could be pwr steer pump.

The whine never gets in the passengers seat. That happens at home. :(

Alternators can whine. Check if the whine increases when you switch on all lights & other electrical loads.

Bolt a blower scoop to the bonnet and just pretend!

Echo..I'd be checking the whine around the motor. Stick a long bar to your ear and position the other end around different parts of the motor.

You'll probably find its the timing gears/chain.. Even a chunky fan can make noises for you.

The other side is, you can always go back to louder mufflers?>

Macka · « **Reply #10 on:** February 20, 2007, 10:20:29 pm »

Ech.. how did you go?> I was even thinking that the standard timing chain may have been removed and you have a full gear set fitted..they can be a bit noisey...?>?

2233 · « **Reply #11 on:** February 21, 2007, 08:14:08 am »

I have not been out to do anything to it yet.

It has a double row timing chain. :(

Isnt that know as a turkey slap?

Gearbox, perhaps.A fully tuned Windsor does actually have have its own distinctive sound. It's more of a "moan" than a whine.

I actually want to increase the 'burbble' of my engine, a more definitive exhaust noise. I was advised that one option is to remove the small exhaust pipe section that joins the two exhaust pipes under my vehicle. Apparently this pipe is supposed to equalise the exhaust noise. I've been advised that it's removal won't compromise engine performance, although to the ear it may sound rougher or more throaty - looking for thoughts and advice.

The H pipe or crossover pipe is supposed to increase the torque a bit.Exactly how much I don't know.

ron · « **Reply #17 on:** February 26, 2007, 12:53:51 pm »

Ooops did I say x-over,I meant balance tube.But I'd reckon the x-over setup would make more torque than the H pipe.

HEVEN67 · « **Reply #18 on:** February 26, 2007, 01:25:05 pm »

This is what is sounds like with cross overs, no balance pipes .Just unaldulterated Twin straight through 2 1/2" pipes!http://s142.photobucket.com/albums/r120/heven67/?action=view&current=heven67dragsnov2006.flv
ont forget to type the flv manually.

Echo

What sort of dissy are you running some have plastic gears which can whine

Guys the cross over or ballance pipe is to ensure the same amount of back pressure is distributid to both sides of the engine. it is not essentiat to have one, but can make engines run a little bit smoother especially at idle.

Accel dizzy , I believe it to be brass.
