Today when i was on the way to Ipoh, when i tried to tekan til maximum (that time my pivot showing 209kmh), suddenly there was a very loud sound "POPPP" sound from my front hood, but there was not overheating, radiator, cooler all are fine and there did not have any smoke from the engine bay. I quickly stop at road side n idling was fine too. So i just wondering where and how did this "POPPP" sound came and happen? I just had top overhaul few days ago, parts all in stock condition just replaced with TRD metal head gasket. Before overhaul, i go until 220kmh also have no problem. Anyone faced before or know what could caused this happen?
Thanks for anyone giving opinion. :burnout:

Bro... i guess there's your answer... you just did top overhaul a few days ago and already whacking your engine over 200km/h??? As with any overhaul, its best to run in the engine first and replace the engine oil before whacking the living life out of it. Also best to re-check valve clearance and other checks after the first 1000km of running in.

But anyways, the popping sound could be some animal (prolly a bird) that was hit by a car traveling at 200 over km/h... heheh :biggrin:

Btw, drive slow bro.. the road from KL to Ipoh is pretty bad... you always go Ipoh is it?
 
hehe...broke the sound barrier :P

think shouldn't be much...if worried let the mech have a look...my car did 200 around that area also but then was sent a 'love letter' by the police...best take care around there...
 
pcmoddingmy : I had asked TWICE from the foreman and he said no need to run in, just drive, so....how could i don't whack it after top overhaul? i want to ensure the power is still there. About animal i can confirm it is not because i had checked every parts from the engine bay and it is clean :)

I seldom drive so fast bro just that day want to test the top speed after overhaul only. Ya, i know the road condition is very bad. Yeep, i will go back once a week at least.

Captain Fast : LOL, one of my plate alpherbet already broken so police may not capture me :p
