When my engine isn't warm and I haven't gotten into boost I have this ticking sound. My mechanic said that he thought it was a lazy lifter, just not getting oil into it yet or something. But the ticking sound does go away after my engine warms up and has gotten into boost a few times. I do have HKS cams if that makes a difference, it probably is the reason Im guesing. ? ? ? Anyone have this too??

 

its the lifters ur talkin about. Its normal. i had it with stock cams and aftermarket cams. the injectors also make a tickin noise.

 

AAAHHHHH, the Evo's have problems with lifter tick too..when I start my GS-T in the morning, it sounds like that too sometimes...our lifters suck.

 

its not really a problem, just kinda annoying.

 

i got the same thing with stock cam's and 264's

 

I have now owned THREE Mitsu's....All of them had the famous tick when cold.

It's almost like a BAD trademark.

 

It is probably a bad lifter. Alot of cams are being put in and the lifters are not bleed before re-assemble. It blows the seal in the lifter.
