I listened to it on my apple and it doesn't sound like a starter. Too rythmic.

Thanks guys. I'm skipping any diagnosing and going straight to the flex. Putting my stock one back on. The sun coast had cracked welds on the ring gear but I chose to put it on anyway. I'm really hoping that is it. The starters as far as I know have zero adjustment and is a major pain in the ass to get to. Trans takes me an hour. Now I have the decision to ruin my fun weekend or possibly make it better by wrenching tonight.

This......c'mon $hitty flex plate
to me it sounds too frequent to be a rod knock anyway, usually rod knocks only happen when the piston is on the boom stroke LOL, unless somehow bearings were not put in that rod? Im not really sure how that could happen.
I would still be going after a flex plate or something. i would think a bolt or socket by now would have broke the housing or something like that. Could be the converter itself too i guess.

Converters can make some crazy noises.
is the converter all the way in the transmission pump correctly? Kinda hard not to but i know different converters and flex plates require different spacing
Take good measurements of everything while its apart especially if you dont find anything definative with the flex plate...
I would be working on it late tonight but thats just me LOL

Lol I agree Dustin. I'm almost positive its not motor. I would think it would take longer than instant to start making noise.
The converter is brand new but its not out of the question.

yeah pretty much unless like i said the bearing flat got left out of a rod journal... hard to do.
lifter would be more like a tick and it would be half of engine speed anyway, so again too fast to be that from what i heard.

Isn't it somewhat impossible to put it together when not fully seated? How would I get correct spacing of a converter and flex plate. There are no shims or spacers used with sun coast flex. The converter would be pulled to the correct location via the bolts anyway correct?
Ive been working on 4 hours of sleep every night since last Wednesday. I'm pretty sick of it right now LOL

Damn son.......maybe chug some Zzzquil, get a solid nights sleep and hit it fresh tomorrow man
yes its pretty impossible to get partially together if the spacing isnt right.
Check everything anyway. measure bell housing to torque converter mounting and measure flex plate mounting to engine plate. just double check that that measurement is at lease close.

Wish I could. Got work and then heading up north for the hill climbs though. I really wish this was an April fools joke haha. I will def do that Dustin. I always do the finger measure but maybe its not as accurate as it used to be lol.

If you do end up pulling the trans and don't find a for sure problem, I would start the engine with trans out and see if the noise is still there. Hopefully it's not. Only thing I can foresee needing done to start while trans is out is to connect the two lines so fluid doesn't go everywhere. Then to might have to use the starter jump wire to start it from under the hood.
