that sound is caused by hot air causing the metal pipes to expand.
Pinging is caused the exhaust valve closes before all the exhaust gases are out and the intake valve opens and new fuel enters. One of the best ways to fix it is to adjust your timing, or change your fuel octane to a higher one.
Pinging, knocking and detonation are all terms for a condition known as "pre-ignition,". That means some of the gas and air mixture is igniting in the cylinder before it's supposed to. And when that extra flame front crashes into the normal flame front (created by the spark plug), you hear a noise, and that noise is pinging. Pinging is something you want to avoid if possible. Engine damage can occur if pinging is severe. Pinging is caused by using too low an octane fuel. Use what is recommended in your owners manual. An engine out of time will also ping, so have the timing checked. Carbon buildup will also cause pinging. A product called Seafoam injected through the intake as outlined in the instructions on the can will help remove carbon and stop pinging. A defective EGR valve is another cause, and also overheating. So replace the thermostat and flush the cooling system.
this is caused from piston to cyl wall clearance when engine warms up the pistons exspand and the noise is less. DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT
cold engine
Sounds like the timing is off just a bit ur getting the start of detonation which makes the pinging noise ur hearing. That is the most logical (as or if ) it was not pinging before the timing belt was replaced.
you would experience a pinging "metalic noise" under heavy or rush acceleration, would also have lost of power. this problem will not turn the check engine light.
Have someone check your Engine mount
loose exhaust
If the 1999 Suburban noise is a sort of loud banging noise, the problem could be that the engine have jumped time. Jumping time would cause the noise and jerking in the engine.
Running too lean.
Not likely. A bad O2 sensor would illuminate the check engine light and the engine performance would suffer.
Having a bad rod bearing could cause a truck to make a loud knocking noise and shake when driving at high speeds. The engine having a coolant leak or an engine timing problem could also cause the knocking noise.
Loose belt - will sound like a screeching noise.
