Does your motor make a ticking noise?

I know there are a million threads about a ticking motor but, I came across these on ebay and was wondering if anyone has tried them or if its a gimmick or what?

Those are for the notorious 4G63 "lifter tick". Most of the ticking I see getting complained about on EVOm, however, is caused by the TOB.

There are two things that make a clear as day ticking noise, and most people seem to think its their lifters or some other problem..

First, The injectors tick, not very loud, but they tick..

Second, the PCV Valve ticks loudly.. Its what most people think is a lifter tick..

I've heard they're not the best for street use...obviously you'd need to check the lash on them every now and then but does anyone have these installed or have solid experience with them...?

I dont think personally that the ticking is normal. Not every evo does it.

Ticking ?

My motor is as quiet as a library hall studying for finals.
