problem help! noisy engine
well this is a mystery it's not good, took it in again mechanic added some additives to the oil that helped alot it doesn't do it when im driving or been driving. But it still does it bad when the engines cold or i turn it off for a few minutes then start it. I tried replacing the VCT solenoid it didn't change anything, so somethings still not right and I have no idea what to do now?
The VCT cam gear will need to be replaced then.
ok i'll buy some 2nd hand cams and hopefully that will do the trick

It's not the cams, it's the sprocket side of things. Not the actual camshaft.
oh really sam what do you recommend me doing/replacing?

Basically sounds like the variable valve timing sprocket (VCT). But their not cheap! You replaced the solenoid but it's the sprocket which rattles. Mine does it on start up for 1 second, it was after I changed to ester oil! ****ing stuff. I've changed back but too late the damage was done.
I won't spend 300 quid On something that is only alittle noisy.

I didn't say cams, I said VCT cam gear (also known as cam sprocket)
You need one of these:
if you really are not sure on what you need to do take the car to ST HITEC, on the other side of the motorway from sylvia park, book it in with soichi and he will tell you straight away whats wrong and what you need to do

That sounds like some good advice as your mechanic who said your oil was too thin and squirters were drilled out, obviously hasn't much experience with sr20's. We all got learn somewhere but would take to an expert for diagnostics!
yea i was meaning just get the whole camshaft as well because thats mainly what people sell. And spoonman i live in gisborne every things too far away
are well looks like your stuffed then, i thought you lived in Auckland for some reason.
yea no idea what to do.. i want to get a det but jesus the money.. and can't get a shop to put new engine in because the charge so much dam labour
