Well the lifters are just making too much noise for me, I can actually hear them over the radio. So they are coming out and getting cleaned. Anyone have a easy way to clean them. I heard diesel fuel works.

 

i really think you are gonna waste your time, and it will be back in no time.

 

umm, cleaning the lifters is not going to do much but waste a lot of time. the only reson why that noise is so pronounces from inside the car is that the hood has no sound deadening material on it. so if you want, do that but it'll add weight...

 

So your saying I just have to live with the lifter tick

 

Or you could run the car at 140+ for about 5 minutes or so, that cleans them out pretty well.

 

did that the other day and they still make noise....I think its just a typical OHC thing, most honda's do it as well, only worse.

 

you can check your valve lash, i'm sure it just needs to be adjusted. yes, honda dohc motors do this too.

 

It is not adjustable on the 4g63. They adjust automaticly

 

if you're gonna do all that, you might as well get ARP head bolts, Ti retainers & lift springs while you're in there. they will only help your cams work better & then you can rev safely to 9K...

 

ah, didn't know that! thats good, i hate doing the lash on my honda.

 

I end up doing all that along with solid lifters. But before I do, the GT30R turbo is going on along with injectors and a clutch, mild tuning then back to the head.

 

YOu think you have a tick now, wait until you go with solid lifters By the way, properly installed cams will never tick Proper bleeding of the lifters prevents the seals inside the lifters from rupturing. In other words dont use the same shop for your future work, and if you did them then you should use a good shop

 

The tick wasn't always there. I have had my cams in for about 4 months. The tick started about 3 weeks ago. I'm guessing that I would either have to replace the lifters or re-bleed them. It seems that it is coming from Cyl 1 or 2 and is 1 or 2 lifters that are making the noise. But the tick goes away once the engine passes 3000rpm.
