I noticed a ping noise, I think it is engine valve noise after I changed the oil.

I did not notice power loss, but I hear this noise in neutral when accelerating past 1500rpm.


Some ideas?

btw, same oil as before, just new.

 

hmm, can you be a little bit more discriptive? My car and a couple of other cars that i know would get a louder lifter tick after an oil change with royal purple.

 

I pray thats not the sound of a spun rod bearing.

I believe the quick-n-dirty test was this: (not super accurate)

- While at a standstill bring engine rpm up till it ticks
- SLOWLY let out clutch until it puts a lil load on the engine
- If ticking goes away may be bad rod bearing...


Any other thoughts?

 

try this rev your car up to 3000rpms in neutral hold it and then let it idel repeat the procedure 10 times and see if it goes away.

 

have you checked your oil level??

 

I'm almost sure that it is something related with the valve. It is not the first time I hear it but it is the first time that is constant.

It is a tick tick tick sound that follows the engine rpm, more rpm = more noise; idle = a non constant tick noise.

 

checked the oil level. Ecu reset and the noise continues...

 

if it is like this better stop the engine and have the dealer check it !

 

it might be your injectors.

 

or try bleeding the lifters do you have after market cams?

 

stock cams

 

pcv valve?

 

A mouse might hear this, but it only closes once under boost... come on


Get a stethescope (spelling) to pinpoint if on head - lifter

What oil filter did you use?

Is it a tick, a tap, or a knock?

 

It is difficult to describe writing. I put the Mitsubishi oil filter.

 

After searching...

My previous filter was MZ690115, the US oil filter is MZ690116, the Japanese and MR Evos are MD356000 and the salesman gave me the CD120001 filter.

I'm suspecting that this filter is wrong and it caused low oil pressure in the system.
