duratec install with a creaking noise
hi guys, when i drive the car i get a strange creaking noise. its an mgb with duratec installed, its really hard to pin point the noise whilst
driving, but it only does it when in the lower gears and under load, like when pulling away. Any thoughts?

If it is creaking, maybe it needs oil!

Engine mounts would be my first guess

Have you fitted poly bushes on the suspension, or even ordinary new bushes. If you have it could be that you have tightened them up prior to lowering
the car down on its wheels, just a thought. HTH Ray
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy

i fitted poly bushes a year ago and it was fine with the previous engine. Perhaps the welding on my chassis mounts arent as good as i thought (arc
welding and im not good at it). Engine side mounts were made by a pro. Today i test drove it again and ive also got a noise which im certain is the
exhaust as its very close in places and it sounds metalic and hollow.

What's controlling the engine timing?.. From the description of low revs and high load it could be pinking
