I did that when I first broke it. I didn't see anything. I might try to borrow/buy a camera this weekend and do it again. Cant hurt to check again.

I hope to drop the gearbox off the car this weekend. I have a nagging doubt, that the noise could possibly be coming from the bell housing. I have this idea due to the following reasons:

1. Despite all my checking with long screwdriver (AKA stethoscope) I cannot pin point the noise beyond the fact that it appears to be coming from the back of the motor, on the right hand side.

2. the 'knock' is present on start up then goes away. I returns on any blip of the throttle before ceasing when the car returns to idle.

3. gearbox is easier to remove than the head.

I might have a swap going on for the clutch, so need to check it is not damaged this weekend. Another bloke in Sydney has a Jim Berry built clutch that he has decided is going to be too much for his street car. I wanted a Jim Berry clutch for the race car when I broke the stock one but needed a replacement immediately so bought an Exedy off the shelf.
