When I reach 6000RPM to Redline. I hear a crackling sound, sounds almost crispy, from the front right side of the car, Now I have heard that it may be normal on a Vtech engine but I am not so sure about that. I've never heard that sound before. Any Ideas?

To be honest I think that it is the engine screaming in protest. Would not be surprised if it is valve bouncing at that speed, what has been done to the engine in the way of any mods?

This is a bit hard to say, with out hearing it first hand, now is this static or under load driving/ also I just got to think if that is the induction side on your version, I am in Australia and you have just about every thing back to front to what I see here, I am wondering if it is just induction noise at such a peak rpm?

Hi there, I think that this is valve bounce noise resonating out the induction, I really got to hear this one, have you had anyone listen to it yet?
