Valves ticking

Semper_Fi · 11-27-2011, 04:10 AM

Hey. Thank you for showing intrest in my thread. Im currently in the final process of my reconstruction of my project. I rebuilt the engine, and when i turned it on for the first time, the engine sounds amazing, then i installed the intercooler piping, and now the head has a strange ticking sound... Just wondering if it could be that the gas is older, oil psi, or simply the valves need to be readjusted... Before i rip the engine apart... in 7 hrs, please save me the trouble. Thanks again supra forum.

The stock injectors are pretty loud too. It's more noticeable with some sets than others and the last set I had serviced came back even louder than when they left. Use a stethoscope to see where the noise is originating from.
